Question

Over a period of 5 min, 7,500 C is found to have traveled past a particular point in a circuit. How much current must have been flowing through the circuit?

Answer 1

25 A

Step-by-step explanation:

The current intensity in a circuit is defined as follows:

`I=(q)/(t)`

where

q is the amount of charge that passes a given point

t is the amount of time

In this problem, we have

q = 7,500 C is the charge

t = 5 min = 300 s is the amount of time

Substituting into the formula, we find

`I=(7500 C)/(300 s)=25 A`
