Answer:

Current = 3 Amperes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Quantity of charge = 6 C

Time = 2 seconds

To find how many amps are moving through this wire;

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

Quantity of charge = current * time

Substituting into the formula, we have;

6 = current * 2

Current = 6/2

Current = 3 Amperes
