Question

If 0.5 charge passes through wire in 10 seconds then current will be?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given:

Charge (Q)= 0.5 C

Time(t)= 10secs

To find:

Current (I)

Formula:

I=Q/t

Solution:

I= 0.5/10

I= 0.05 Amp

Answer 2

Given :

Charge = 0.5 C

Time (T) = 10 seconds

To Find :

Current flowing through the wire

Solution :

Current in a conductor is defined as the net flow of charge in unit time through any cross section of the conductor.

          Current (I) = $\frac{Charge (Q)}{Time (T)}$

As per question, charge = 0.5 C; Time = 10 sec

So, current flowing through the wire (I) = $\frac{0.5}{10}$

                                                                = 0.05 A

Therefore, the current flowing through the wire is found to be 0.05 A.
