Question

A current of 1.0 A is drawn by a filament of an electric bulb for 10 min. The amount of electric charge that flows through the circuit is

(a) 0.1 C 

(b) 10 C

(c) 600 C 

(d) 800 C

Answer 1

(c) 600 C 

Given, I = 1.0 A,

t = 10 min = 10 x 60 = 600 s

As, we know that,

I = Q/t

Q = It

∴ Q = 1.0 x 600 = 600 C
