Answer 1

» Given Question:

If a charge of 400C flows through a conducting wire for 6 minutes, what is value of current?

» Required Answer :

Given:

• Amount of charge ( Q ) = 400C

• time taken ( t ) = 6 minutes = 360 seconds

Converting time to its SI unit:

1 minute = 60 seconds

6 minutes = (60 × 6) seconds

6 minutes = 360 seconds

To find:

• Current flowing through it ( I )

Calculation:

We know that,

• $\boxed {\large \rm \red { I = \dfrac{Q}{t}}}$

$\tt { \implies I = \dfrac{400}{360}}$

$\tt { \implies I = \dfrac{40 \cancel{0} }{36\cancel {0} }}$

$\tt { \implies I = \cancel { \dfrac{40}{36}} }$

$\tt { \implies I = \cancel{ \dfrac{20}{18}} }$

$\tt\purple { \implies I = \dfrac{10}{9} A}$

Therefore, Electric current flowing through the wire is 10/9 A or 10/9 Ampere.

» More Information:

• The flow of charges in a conductor is called electric current.
• The SI unit of electric current is Ampere denoted by A.
• Formula : I = Q/t where, I is current ;Q is charge and t is time.
• Current is measured by Ammeter.
• SI unit of electric charge is Coulomb denoted by C.
• 1 Coulomb is equivalent to the charge contain in $\sf { 6.5 \times {10}^{18}}$ electrons.
