Step-by-step explanation:
The amount of charge that flows through a circuit is given by the product of the current and the time, Q = I*t. Therefore, we can find the current by dividing the charge by the time:
I = Q/t
In this case, the charge is 300 Coulombs and the time is 3.5 minutes (which we will convert to seconds for convenience):
Q = 300 C
t = 3.5 min = 3.5 * 60 s = 210 s
Substituting these values into the equation above, we get:
I = Q/t = 300 C / 210 s = 1.43 A
Therefore, the current flowing through the toaster is 1.43 Amperes.
