Question

A current of 0.2 A flows through a conductor for 5minutes. How much charge would have passed through the conductor?​

Answer 1

As we know,

$electric \: \: current = \dfrac{charge}{time}$

so, let's solve for charge (q) :

time = 5 minutes = 5 × 60 seconds = 300 seconds.

• $0.2 = \dfrac{q}{300}$

• $q = 300 \times 0.2$

• $q = 60$

hence, the charge = 60 coulombs (C)
