Question

$20coulombs$ of charge flows through any cross-section of a conductor in $10seconds$. What is the current flowing through the conductor?

Answer 1

Step 1: Given data

Charge flowing through any cross-section of a conductor is $q=20C$

Time of flow of charges is $t=10s$

Step 2: Finding the current flowing through the conductor.

The equation for the current flowing in the circuit is $I=\frac{q}{t}$

Where $I$ is the current in the circuit.

Substitute the value of $q$and $t$,

$$\begin{gathered} I=\frac{20C}{10s} \\ I=2A \end{gathered}$$

Thus, the current flowing through the conductor is $2A.$
