Question

What is the current through a wire if 240 coulombs of charge pass through the wire in 2.0 minutes?

Answer 1

Current = charge/time = 240/2x120 =1A.
Current flowing is 1 ampere. 

Answer 2

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 :

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

Putting the value of q and t we get:

$I=\dfrac{240\ C}{120\ s}$

I = 2 Ampere

So, the current passing through the wire is 2 Amps.

Hence, this is the required solution.
