Question

What is the current in milliamperes produced by the solar cells of a pocket calculator through which 4.2 C of charge passes in 2.7 h

Answer 1

Answer:

0.432mA

Explanation:

Current produced by the solar cells of the pocket calculator is expressed using the formula I = Q/t where;

Q is the charge (in Columbs)

t is the time (in seconds)

Given parameters

Q = 4.2C

t = 2.7 hrs

t = 2.7*60*60

t = 9720 seconds

Required

Current produced by the solar cell I

Substituting the given values into the formula;

I = 4.2/9720

I = 0.000432A

I = 0.432mA

Hence, the current in milliamperes produced by the solar cells of a pocket calculator is 0.432mA
