A current of 6A flows through metal wire...

A current of 6A flows through metal wire. How many coulombs of charge pass through the wire in 2 minutes ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Current flowing through the wire, I = 6A
Time taken , t=2 minutes = `2xx 60 = 120 s`
To find : Amount of charge passing through wire, q= ?
`I = (Q)/(t)`
`implies Q= Ixxt = 6xx120 = 720 C`
Charge, Q = 720 C
