Question

How long will it take 24 C of charge to flow in a 6.0 A circuit?

A. 0.25 s
B. 4.0 s
C. 18 s

Answer 1

1 A ("Ampere") means 1 C ("Coulomb") of charge per second.

It shouldn't surprise us to learn, then, that 6.0 A means 6.0 C per second.

If 6 C pass by every second, then 24 C will pass by in (24/6) = 4 seconds .

Answer 2

Answer : The correct option is, (B) 4.0 s

Solution : Given,

Charge flow in the circuit = 24 C

Current flow in the circuit = 6.0 A

Formula used :

`Q=I* t`

where,

Q = charge flow in the circuit

I = current flow in the circuit

t = time taken

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the time.

`24C=(6.0A)* t`

`t=4.0s`

Therefore, the time taken will be, 4.0 s
