Question

What is the current in a circuit if 3.50 C of charge passes any given point in a circuit in 1.80 s?

Answer 1

Answer:

I = 1.944 A

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Charge, Q = 3.5C

Time, t = 1.8 secs

Charge of a substance is given by the formula;

$Q = It$

Where;

Q is the amount of charge measured in Colombs.

I is the current measured in Amperes.

t is the time measured in seconds.

Making I the subject of formula, we have

$I = \frac {Q}{t}$

$I = \frac {3.5}{1.8}$

I = 1.944 A

Therefore, the current in the circuit is 1.944 Amperes.
