Question

A 60-watt light bulb carries a current of 0. 5 ampere. the total charge passing through it in one hour is________.

Answer 1

Answer:

charge passed = 1800 C

Explanation:

• We can use the following formula to calculate charge:

$\boxed{Q = It}$,

where:

Q = charge in Coulombs

I = current in amperes (0.5 A)

t = time in seconds (1 h = 60 min = 3600 s).

• Substituting the values into the formula:

charge = 0.5 × 3600

            = 1800 C
