A current of 0.5 A flows through a wire for 6 minutes. How much charge would have passed through the wire? A) 300 C B) 30 C C) 180 C D) 1800 C

Answer»

Given :

  • Current flowing, I = 0.5 A
  • Time for which current is flowing, t = 6 min

To FIND :

  • CHARGE passed through the wire, Q = ?

Formula required :

  • Relation between Current (I) , Charge (Q) and time (t)

      I = Q / t

[ Where I is in Ampere, Q is in Coulomb, and t is in seconds ]

  • Current is defined as the rate of low of Charge.
  • SI unit of Current : Ampere
  • SI unit of Charge : Coulomb.

Solution :

Converting time given in min into seconds

→ t = 6 min

→ t = 6 × 60 sec

t = 360 sec

Calculating charge through the wire

Using formula

→ I = Q / t

→ 0.5 = Q / 360

→ Q = 0.5 × 360

Q = 180 C

therefore,

  • Charge passed through the wire is 180 Coulomb.

Hence,

OPTION (C) 180 C is correct.
