Question
If a charge of 420 C flows through a conducting wire in 5 minutes what is the value of the current?
Advertisements
Solution
The current flowing through the conducting wire is
`"I" = "Charge (Q)"/"Time (t)"`
⇒ `"I" = 420/(5 xx 60) = 1.4 "A"`
Hence, the current flowing through the wire is 1.4 A.
