Question

Some amount of charge is flowing through the cross section of the conductor during a time period of Y seconds. If the current flowing through the conductor is X ampere then find the amount of charge that flows through any cross section of the conductor​

Answer 1

Required Answer:-

Current flowing in a circuit is the rate of flow of charges inside it. Mathematically,

Here, we have:

Time period = Y seconds

Amount of current flowing = X ampere.

Then,

The relation can be written as

➛ Q = It

Plugging the values given,

➛ Q = X amperes × Y seconds

➛ Q = XY As

Here, Both amperes and second is the SI unit of the quantities. Then, we can use Coulombs instead of Amperes-sec. Hence, Charge flowing = XY coulombs.
