$▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪ {\huge\mathfrak{Answer}}▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪$

According to above question ~

Current (I) = 4 Amperes

Time (t) = 3 seconds

Charge (q) = ?

Let's find the charge (q) by using formula ~

$I = \dfrac{q}{t}$

$4 = \dfrac{q}{3}$

$q = 4 \times 3$

$q = 12 \: \: coulombs$

Hence, 12 coulombs of charge flow past any point in the wire in 3 seconds

His power output was 3 Watt (360 Joule/120 seconds). The power output can be calculated by dividing the quantity of work by the amount of second needed for the activity and also by multiplying the force amount with the velocity of the activity. The power output usually used for measuring the ability of machine for doing its job.
