Question

•If 120 c charge flows through a wire for 5 second then the current flowing through it is_______



​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Charge (Q) = 150 coulomb Time (t) = 1 minute = 60 sec. Current (I) = ? I=Q/t =150/60=2.5 Amp.Read more on Sarthaks.com - https://www.sarthaks.com/169993/charge-150-coulomb-flows-through-wire-one-minute-find-the-electric-current-flowing-through

Given :  q=10 C             t=5 s

∴ Electric current       I=

t

q

10

​

=2 A

The current is defined as rate of flow of charged particles.

i.e.

i=

t

Q

​

Q=20C

t=0.5s

Hence, i=

0.5

20

=40A
