Answer 1

Given:

During electroplating of gold, a charge of 4 A is passed through the electrolyte for 8 minutes.

To find:

Charge flown ?

Calculation:

• Current in a circuit is often defined as the rate of flow of charge through the cross-section area of the conductor.

• So, charge will be current multiplied with time (time to be put in seconds unit).

• SI unit of charge is Coulomb (C).

$Q = i \times t$

$\implies \: Q = 4 \times (8 \times 60)$

$\implies \: Q = 1920 \: coulomb$

So, charge flown through the conductor is 1920 Coulomb.
