Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of charge stored in a battery is given by the product of the current and the time, Q = I*t. Therefore, we can find the charge stored in the cell by multiplying the current and the time:

Q = I*t

In this case, the current flowing to the cell is 1.5A and the time for which the cell is charged is 5 minutes (which we will convert to seconds for convenience):

I = 1.5 A

t = 5 min = 5 * 60 s = 300 s

Substituting these values into the equation above, we get:

Q = I*t = 1.5 A * 300 s = 450 Coulombs

Therefore, if the owner charges the cell for 5 minutes with a current of 1.5A, the amount of charge stored in the cell will be 450 Coulombs.
