Answer:In this case we have, by definition:

Also:

Where:

I: It's the current

Q: It's the charge

t: It's time

If we have:

Substituting we have:

So, the current in the wire is 8A.

The current in the wire, to the nearest whole number, is 8 A.

In this case we have, by definition:


1 Coulomb = 1 Ampere * second

Also:


I=(Q)/(t)

Where:

  • I: It's the current
  • Q: It's the charge
  • t: It's time

If we have:


Q = 96 Columb = 96 Ampere * second\\t = 12 seconds

Substituting we have:


I=(96(A*s))/(12s) \\I=8 A

So, the current in the wire is 8A.

Answer:

The current in the wire, to the nearest whole number, is 8 A.
