Question

An electric iron draws a current of 0.6a when the voltage is 100 v calculate the amount of electric charge flowing through it in one hour

Answer 1

current I=0.6A
voltage V=100v
time t=1h=3600sec.
we know that current is the rate of flow of electric charge
I=Q/t
Q=It
Q=0.6x3600
Q=2160C

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is 2160 C.

Explanation:

It is the given in the problem that an electric iron draws a current of 0.6 A when the voltage is 100 V. The amount of electric charges flowing in one hour.

Convert time from hour to second.

t = 1 h = 3600 s

The expression for the current in terms of charge and time as follows;

$I=\frac{Q}{t}$

Here, I is the charge, Q is the charge and t is the time.

Calculate the charge by rearranging the above expression.

Q=It

Put t = 3600 s and I= 0.6 A.

Q=(0.6)(3600)

Q = 2160 C

Therefore, the amount of electric charge flowing in one hour is
