Question

What is the current in a copper wire if 650C of charge passes through it in 6 minutes

1. 180A
2. 18A
3. 1.8A
4. 108A

Answer 1

3. 1.8A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Quantity of charge, Q = 650C

Time = 6 minutes to seconds = 6 * 60 = 360 seconds.

To find the current l;

Quantity of charge = current * time

Substituting into the equation, we have;

650 = current * 360

Current = 650/360

Current = 1.8 Amperes
