Answer:

240 C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  • I = 2A
  • t = 2 minutes = 120 seconds

To find:

  • Charge passing through the wire (Q)

Solution: Formula relating Q, I and t is given as:

  • Q = It
  • Plugging the values of I and t in the above equation, we find:
  • Q = 2 * 120
  • -> Q = 240 C

Thus, 240 Coulomb charge will pass through the wire.
