Answer:
The blade of sharpener is made up of iron. Iron is a magnetic material because of this pencil sharpener gets attracted by the poles of a magnet although the body is made up of plastic.
Current is defined as the rate of charge flowing a point every second. Having a current of 1 Ampere signifies 1 Coulomb is flowing in a circuit every second. It is measured by the use of an ammeter which is positioned in series to the component to be measured. The current in the problem is calculated as follows:
I = 2.0 x 10^-4 C / 5.0 x 10^-5 s
<span>I = 4 A or 4.0 x 10^0 A</span>
