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: given

$$\begin{gathered} Chargeflown=1coulomb \\ timetaken=1second \end{gathered}$$

Step 2: calculation of current

We know that, $current=\frac{charge}{time}$

Using the values from the given data, we get

$current=\frac{1coulomb}{1second}=1ampere$

Hence, the current flown is one ampere.
