Question

A constant amount of charge passes through a conductor. How is current affected if the same amount of charge passes in less time?

A, The current decreases.
B. The current increases.
C. The current is not affected by the time it takes the charge to pass through.
D. The current initially decreases, and then is gradually restored.

Answer 1

B. The current increases.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that rate of flow of charge through the conductor is known as electric current

So we have

`i = (q)/(t)`

here we know that charge Q flowing through the conductor is constant while the time in which it passes through it is decreased

so we can say that the ratio of charge and time will increase

so here we have

`i = increased`

So correct answer will be

B. The current increases.
