If a 3 A current is flowing per minute through a cross – section of a conductor, how charge flows through it?
180.0 C
Electric current is the rate of flow of charge, \(I = \frac{Q}{t}\), so the charge that passes through a cross-section is \(Q = I \times t\), with I in amperes and t in seconds.
Here the current I = 3 A flows for t = 1 minute = 60 s. So \(Q = 3 \times 60 = 180\) C, that is, 180.0 C of charge flows through the conductor.
Check: \(I = \frac{Q}{t} = \frac{180}{60} = 3\) A, which matches the given current.
Hence, 180.0 C.
