Question

The amount of 2 A electric current is passed for l minute through one conducting wire.How much total electric charge will pass through this wire?Select the proper choice from the given multipule choices.(A) 2 C (B) 30 C (C) 60 C (D) 120 C

Answer 1

Answer ⇒ Option (D). 120 C.

Given conditions ⇒

Current(I) = 2 A.

Time = 1 minutes = 60 seconds.

∵ Current is the rate of the flow of charge.

∴Mathematically,

I = Q/t

where, Q is the charge.

∴ Q = I × t

⇒ Q = 2 × 60

∴ Q = 120 A.

Hence, the charge flowing in the conductor is 120 A.

Hence, Option (D) is correct.

Hope it helps.
