Answer:

  • 900 joules

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

  • Current = 6 ampere
  • Potential difference = 5 volt
  • Time = 5 minutes

In seconds,

  • 5 min = 300 seconds

To Calculate :-

  • Work done

Solution :-

The equation of work done is,


\implies {\pink{W = VIt }}

Where:

  • W is work done measured in joules.
  • V is potential difference measured in volt
  • I is current measured in ampere
  • t is time measured in seconds.

Plugging the values, we have:


\implies W = 5 * 6 * 300


\implies W = 30 * 300


\implies W = 900 \: joules

Therefore, The required work done is 900 joules.
