Verified Answer :

Answer : Current flowing, I = 2 Ampere

Explanation :

It is given that,

Charge passing through a wire, q = 240 coulombs

Time taken to pass the charge, t = 2 minutes = 120 seconds

Electric current is defined as the ratio of the electric charge divided by time taken to pass the charge.

Mathematically, it can be written as :

\(I=\dfrac{q}{t}\)

Putting the value of q and t we get:

\(I=\dfrac{240\ C}{120\ s}\)

I = 2 Ampere

So, the current passing through the wire is 2 Amps.

Hence, this is the required solution.

The current flowing through the wire is 2 A.

To calculate the current passing through the wire, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • Q = It............... Equation 1

Where:

  • Q = Charge passing through the wire
  • I = Current in the wire
  • t = time.

make i the subject of the equation

  • i = Q/t.................. Equation 2

From the question,

Given:

  • Q = 240 C
  • t = 2.0 minutes = (2×60) = 120 seconds.

Substitute these values into equation 2

  • i = 240/120
  • i = 2 A.

Hence, the current flowing through the wire is 2 A.
