Question

A current of 0.2 A flows through a conductor for 5minutes. How much charge would have passed through the conductor?​

Answer 1

As we know,

`electric \: \: current = (charge)/(time)`

so, let's solve for charge (q) :

time = 5 minutes = 5 × 60 seconds = 300 seconds.

• 
  `0.2 = (q)/(300)`

• 
  `q = 300 * 0.2`

• 
  `q = 60`

hence, the charge = 60 coulombs (C)
