Answer 1

Answer: 2 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Time (T) = ?

Charge (Q) = 4 coulombs

current (I) = 2 Amps

Since charge depends on the amount of current flowing through the wire in a given time, hence

Charge = Current x Time

Q = IT

4 coulombs = 2 Amps x Time

Time = 4 coulombs / 2 Amps

Time = 2 seconds

Thus, it takes 2 seconds for the current to flow through the wire
