(a) What is the current involved when a truck battery sets in motion 720 C of charge in 4.00 s while starting an engine? (b) How long does it take 1.00 C of charge to flow through a calculator if a 0.300 mA current is flowing?

Respuesta :

Answer:

(a) Current flowing through truck battery is 180 A

(b) Time taken in calculator is 333.33 s

Explanation:

(a) Given:

The charge on the truck battery,q = 720 C

Time, t = 4.00 s

Consider I be the current flowing through truck battery.

The relation between current, charge and time is:

I = q/t

Substitute the suitable values in the above equation.

[tex]I=\frac{720}{4}[/tex]

I = 180 A

(b) Given:

The charge on the calculator,q = 7.00 C

The current flowing through calculator, I = 0.3 mA = 0.3 x 10⁻³ A

Consider t be the time.

The relation between current, charge and time is:

t = q/I

Substitute the suitable values in the above equation.

[tex]t=\frac{1}{0.3\times10^{-3} }[/tex]

I = 333.33 s
