Solution

The correct option is D $2 A$
Given:
The charge flowing through the wire, $Q = 600 C$
Time for which the charge flows throught the wire,
$t = 5 minutes$
$t = 5 \times 60 = 300 s$

From the definition of current,
$I = \frac{Q}{t}$
$I = \frac{600}{300} = 2 A$

1.6 s e c

= 1.6 \times 10^{- 19} C

I = 3 t^{2} + 2 t + 5

t = 0

t = 2 s e c
