A current of 4A flows around a circuit for 10s. How much charge flows past a point in the circuit in this time?
Given: Current flowing through the circuit is 4A
The time through which current flowed is 10s
To find: We have to find the charge flows past a point in the circuit in the given time.
Solution:
We know,
Q = I x t (Charge = current x time)
=> Q = 4 x 10 = 40C.
Therefore, the charge flows past a point is 40C.
