Answer:

Current = 10 Amperes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following dat;

Quantity of charge, Q = 36 kilocoulombs (KC) = 36 * 1000 = 36000C

Time = 1 hour to seconds = 60*60 = 3600 seconds

To find the current;

Quantity of charge = current * time

Substituting in the equation

36000 = current * 3600

Current = 36000/3600

Current = 10 Amperes.
