Solution
The correct option is D 3 Answer is D. The coulomb is defined in terms of the ampere and second: 1C=1A×1s. In this case, the resistance 4ohms and voltage V=12V.
According to Ohm's law,
V=IR
That is, I=VR
So, I=124=3A
Hence, 3 coulomb of charge flows through the electrical appliance in 1 second.
