Answer:

277.78 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating the amount of charge is expressed as;

Q = It

I is the current

t is the time

Given

I =0.05A

Q = 50,000C

Required

Time t

Recall that: Q = It

t = Q/I

t = 50,000/0.05

t = 1,000,000secs

Convert to hours

1,000,000secs = 1,000,000/3600

1,000,000secs = 277.78 hours

Hence it will take 277.78 hours for the charge to flow through the diode
