A current of 0.2 A flows through a conductor for 5minutes. How much charge would have passed through the conductor?​

Sagot :

As we know,

[tex]electric \: \: current = \dfrac{charge}{time} [/tex]

so, let's solve for charge (q) :

time = 5 minutes = 5 × 60 seconds = 300 seconds.

  • [tex]0.2 = \dfrac{q}{300} [/tex]

  • [tex]q = 300 \times 0.2[/tex]

  • [tex]q = 60[/tex]

hence, the charge = 60 coulombs (C)
