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.
