Question

One coulomb of charge flows through any cross-section of a conductor in 1 second. What is the current flowing through the conductor?

Answer 1

Step 1: Electric Charge:

The property of the matter with which the matter experiences a force when the matter is placed in the electromagnetic field is known as electric charge.

Step 2: Given data:

1. The charge through the conductor is $Q=1\mathrm{C}$.
2. The time taken is $t=1\mathrm{s}$.

Step 3: Calculation of current through the conductor:

The formula to calculate the current through the conductor is given by,

$I=\frac{Q}{t}$

Substitute the given values in the above equation,

$$\begin{gathered} I=\frac{1\mathrm{C}}{1\mathrm{s}} \\ I=1\mathrm{A} \end{gathered}$$

Thus, the current flow through the conductor is 1 A.
