Question

If the amount of electric charge passing through a conductor in 10 minutes is 300 C, the current flowing is:

(a) 30 A
(b) 0.3 A
(c) 0.5 A
(d) 5 A

Answer 1

(c) 0.5 A

Here, charge, Q = 300 C
Time, t = 10 minutes = (10 x 60) s = 600 s
Then, current, I = Q / t
= 300 / 600 = 0.5 A
Hence, the correct option is (c) 0.5 A.
