Answer:
1.089* 10^5\ A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Charge discharged
Q=9.7\C

time taken
t=8.9* 10^(-5)\ s

Current is given as rate of change of discharge i.e.


\Rightarrow I=(Q)/(t)\\\\\Rightarrow I=(9.7)/(8.9* 10^(-5))\\\\\Rightarrow I=1.089* 10^5\ A

Therefore, the average current is
1.089* 10^5\ A
