A charge 0.5 C passes through a cross section of a conductor in 5 s. Find the current.

Open in App

Solution

Electric current is the rate of flow of charge across a cross-section normal to the direction of flow of current.
IF, Electric current = "I".
Charge = "Q".
Time = "t".
Then, I = Q/t
I= $\frac{Q}{t}$
I= $\frac{0.5}{5}$
I=0.1 ampere
