Given:

Current = 9.3 x 10⁻³ A

Electric Charge = 12 C.

Let's find how long it will take for the current to transfer the electric charge.

To find the time, t, apply the formula:


Q=It

Where:

Q is the electric charge = 12 C

I is the electric current = 9.3 x 10⁻³ A

t is the time in seconds

Let's rewrite the equation for t:


t=(Q)/(I)

Thus, we have:


t=(12)/(9.3*10^(-3))=1290.3

Therefore, it will take 1290.3 seconds for the current to transfer the charge.

ANSWER:

1290.3 s
