Over a period of 5 min, 7,500 C is found to have traveled past a particular point in a circuit. How much current must have been flowing through the circuit?

Respuesta :

Answer:

25 A

Explanation:

The current intensity in a circuit is defined as follows:

[tex]I=\frac{q}{t}[/tex]

where

q is the amount of charge that passes a given point

t is the amount of time

In this problem, we have

q = 7,500 C is the charge

t = 5 min = 300 s is the amount of time

Substituting into the formula, we find

[tex]I=\frac{7500 C}{300 s}=25 A[/tex]
