What is the current through a wire if 240 coulombs of charge pass through the wire in 2.0 minutes?
2 answers:
Answer : Current flowing, I = 2 Ampere
Explanation :
It is given that,
Charge passing through a wire, q = 240 coulombs
Time taken to pass the charge, t = 2 minutes = 120 seconds
Electric current is defined as the ratio of the electric charge divided by time taken to pass the charge.
Mathematically, it can be written as :
Putting the value of q and t we get:
I = 2 Ampere
So, the current passing through the wire is 2 Amps.
Hence, this is the required solution.

To solve the problem it is necessary to consider the concepts related to Potential Energy and Kinetic Energy.
Potential Energy because of a planet would be given by the equation,
Where,
G = Gravitational Universal Constant
M = Mass of Ocean
M = Mass of Moon
r = Radius
From the data given we can calculate the mass of the ocean water through the relationship of density and volume, then,
It is necessary to define the two radii, when the ocean is far from the moon and when it is facing.
When it is far away, it will be the total diameter from the center of the earth to the center of the moon.
When it's near, it will be the distance from the center of the earth to the center of the moon minus the radius,
PART A) Potential energy when the ocean is at its furthest point to the moon,
PART B) Potential energy when the ocean is at its closest point to the moon
PART C) The maximum speed. This can be calculated through the conservation of energy, where,
