A current of 1.6 A flows in a conductor for 5.1 s. How much charge passes a given point in the conductor during this time?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Electric charge, q = 8.16 C

Explanation:

It is given that,

Current, I = 1.6 A

Time taken, t = 5.1 s

Electric current is given by electric charge divided total time. Mathematically, it is given by :

[tex]I=\dfrac{q}{t}[/tex]

[tex]q=I\times t[/tex]

[tex]q=1.6\times 5.1[/tex]

q = 8.16 C

So, the electric charge passes a given point in the conductor during this time is 8.16 coulombs. Hence, this is the required solution.
