Question

Calculate the charge flow in 60 seconds in a wire when the current in the wire is 3.0 A

Answer 1

☢ Given :

⚈ Time Interval = 60 second

⚈ Current flowing through wire = 3.0 A

☢ To Find :

⚈ Flow of charge in the wire = ?

☢ Solution :

To calculate the charge flowing through the wire we have to use the given below formula :

$\large\dag\:\boxed{\red{\sf Current (I) = \dfrac{Charge (Q)}{Time (t)}}}$

So, now we have to simply plug in the known values in above formula and then we will get our final answer :

$:\implies\sf 3 = \dfrac{Charge (Q)}{60}$

$:\implies\sf Charge (Q) = 3 \times 60$

$:\implies \underline{ \boxed{\frak{ Charge (Q) = 180 \:C }}}$

☢ Additional Information related to this topic :

• Charge is represented by Q.
• SI unit of electric charge is Coulomb (C).
• The Dimensional formula of charge is [AT].
• Charge is a scalar quantity.
• Charge (Q) does not depend on the velocity of the charged particles.

Answer 2

Given:-

• Time = 60 seconds
• Current = 3.0 A

To find:-

• Amount of charges flowing (Q)

Formula:-

$\longrightarrow$ $\underline{\boxed{\sf I = \dfrac{Q}{t}}}$

here,

• I = current
• Q = charges
• t = time taken

Solution:-

$\dashrightarrow$ $\sf 3$ = $\sf\dfrac{Q}{60}$

$\dashrightarrow$ $\sf 3×60$ = $\sf Q$

$\dashrightarrow$ $\sf Q$ = 180 C

hence, the required answer is 180 coulombs
