Answer:

Q = 50 Coulombs

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Current, I = 5 Amperes

Time, t = 10 seconds

To find the quantity of charge, Q;

Mathematically, the quantity of charge passing through a conductor is given by the formula;

Quantity of charge, Q = current * time

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Q = 5 * 10

Q = 50 Coulombs
