    A current of 5 Amperes flows around a circuit for 10 seconds. How much charge flows past a point in the circuit in this time?
    Question

    A current of 5 Amperes flows around a circuit for 10 seconds. How much charge flows past a point in the circuit in this time?

    A.

    0.5 Columbs

    B.

    50 Columbs

    C.

    2 Columbs

    D.

    25 Columbs

    Correct option is B

    The correct answer is (b) 50 Coulombs.
    To calculate the charge (Q) that flows through a circuit, we use the formula:
    Q=I×t
    where:
    · I is the current in amperes (A),
    · t is the time in seconds (s).
    Given:
    · I=5A
    · t=10 seconds
    Substituting these values into the formula:
    Q=5 A×10 s=50 Coulombs
    Information Booster: · The unit of electric charge is the Coulomb (C).
    · Current (I) is the rate of flow of charge, and the amount of charge that flows in a certain time is calculated by multiplying the current by the time.
    · A current of 1 ampere corresponds to a flow of 1 coulomb of charge per second.
