Answer:

I = 1.944 A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Charge, Q = 3.5C

Time, t = 1.8 secs

Charge of a substance is given by the formula;


Q = It

Where;

Q is the amount of charge measured in Colombs.

I is the current measured in Amperes.

t is the time measured in seconds.

Making I the subject of formula, we have


I = \frac {Q}{t}


I = \frac {3.5}{1.8}

I = 1.944 A

Therefore, the current in the circuit is 1.944 Amperes.
