Hi there!

Using the equation for current:


I = (\Delta Q)/(\Delta t)

I = Current (A)
Q = Charge (C)
t = time (s)

Therefore, the current is equivalent to the amount of charge passing through a wire over a given time interval.

We can plug in the given values and solve.


I = (1200)/(200) = \boxed{6 A}
