Final answer:

To find the time for 3 Coulombs to move through a circuit with 3 Amperes of current flow, use the equation t = Q/I. With the given values, the time is 1 second.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks how long it takes for 3 Coulombs of charge to move past a point in a circuit with a current flow of 3 amperes. Current (I) is defined as the rate at which charge (Q) moves through a point in a circuit over time (t). The relationship between current, charge, and time is given by the equation I = Q/t. Therefore, time can be calculated as t = Q/I.

Using the values provided, we have:
t = 3 Coulombs / 3 Amperes = 1 second.
So the correct answer is A) 1 second.
