Question

A current of 1.6 A flows in a conductor for 5.1 s. How much charge passes a given point in the conductor during this time?

Answer 1

Electric charge, q = 8.16 C

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Current, I = 1.6 A

Time taken, t = 5.1 s

Electric current is given by electric charge divided total time. Mathematically, it is given by :

`I=(q)/(t)`

`q=I* t`

`q=1.6* 5.1`

q = 8.16 C

So, the electric charge passes a given point in the conductor during this time is 8.16 coulombs. Hence, this is the required solution.
