Question

An electric lamp draw's a current of 0.3 ampere and is used for 6 hours every day for a month (30 days). Calculate the amount of charge that flows through the circuit everyday and for a month.

Open in App
Solution

1Ampere=1coulomb/s so 0.3Amp=0.3C/s
In one day it is used for 6hours=6×3600seonds=21600second
So equivalent charge flown in one day=0.3×21600C=6480Coulomb

For one month just multiply above value by 30 we get, charge=194400 coulomb
