Question

For the circuit below, the total current drawn by the circuit is 0.395 A. Determine the current (in A) in each branch of the circuit.

a) 0.150
b) 0.125
c) 0.100
d) 0.020

Answer 1

To calculate the charge flowing through a circuit with a current of 2.5 A over a time of 0.5 s, we multiply the current by the time to get 1.25 C.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the amount of charge that will flow through a circuit in a given time, we can use the formula Q = I × t, where Q is the charge in coulombs (C), I is the current in amperes (A), and t is the time in seconds (s). Given that there is 2.5 A of current in the circuit and the time is 0.5 s, the charge that will flow through the circuit can be calculated as follows:

Q = 2.5 A × 0.5 s = 1.25 C

Therefore, the correct answer is (c) 1.25 C.
