The correct Answer is:
To find the amount of charge that passes through a conductor when a current flows, we can use the relationship between current, charge, and time. The formula we will use is: \[ I = \frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta t} \] Where: - \( I \) is the current in amperes (A), - \( \Delta Q \) is the charge in coulombs (C), - \( \Delta t \) is the time in seconds (s). ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values**: - Current \( I = 1.5 \, \text{A} \) - Time \( \Delta t = 2.0 \, \text{s} \) 2. **Rearrange the formula to solve for charge (\( \Delta Q \))**: \[ \Delta Q = I \times \Delta t \] 3. **Substitute the known values into the equation**: \[ \Delta Q = 1.5 \, \text{A} \times 2.0 \, \text{s} \] 4. **Calculate the charge**: \[ \Delta Q = 3.0 \, \text{C} \] 5. **Conclusion**: The amount of charge that passes through the conductor is \( 3.0 \, \text{C} \). ### Final Answer: The amount of charge that passes through the conductor is **3 coulombs**. ---
