Answer:

I =62.5 μ A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Charge ,q = 2.5 x 10⁻³ C

time ,t= 40 s

We know that current I given as


I=(q)/(t)

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get


I=(2.5* 10^(-3))/(40)\ C/s

We know that

1 A = 1 C/s

Therefore the current I will be

I=0.0000625 A

I = 0.0625 m A

The current in μ A will be

I =62.5 μ A
