Answer:

Charge is 9.6 Coulombs

Step-by-step explanation:

- From definition of current, current is rate of flow of charge in a circuit


current = \triangle(charge) \\ \\ current = (charge)/(time) \\ \\ { \boxed{ I = (Q)/(t) }}

- From the question above,

  • I is 0.08A
  • Q is ?? (needed)
  • t is 2 mins = (2 × 60) = 120 s


0.08 = (Q)/(120) \\ \\ Q = 120 * 0.08 \\ \\ Q = 9.6 \: C
