Question

An electric current of $14A$flows through a conductor for $5s$. Find the amount of charge that flows.

Answer 1

Step 1: Given data

Electric current, $I=14A$

Time, $T=5s$

Charge, $Q=?$

Step 2: Formula used

$I=\frac{Q}{t}$ ………………………….(a)

Step 3: Calculation of the amount of charge flowing through the conductor

Substituting the given values in equation (a), we get

$14A=\frac{Q}{5s}$

$Q=14\times 5$

$Q=70C$

Hence, the amount of charge flowing through the conductor is equal to $70C$.
