3. 350 coulombs of charge flows through an iron in 70 seconds. 3. 350 coulombs of charge flows through an iron in 70 seconds.
What is the current flowing through the current ? What is the current flowing through the current ?
Q = 350 c
_________________________________________________________________________________
t = 70 s _________________________________________________________________________________
I = Q/t
_________________________________________________________________________________
I = 350 / 70 _________________________________________________________________________________
I = 5 A

4. If a current of 2A flows through a bulb for 5 minutes. 4. If a current of 2A flows through a bulb for 5 minutes.
How much charge has passed through the bulb ? How much charge has passed through the bulb ?
I = 2A
_________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________
t = 5 min - 300 s
_________________________________________________________________________________
Q = 2 A x 300 s _________________________________________________________________________________
Q = 600 c

5. How long would it take for 2000 coulombs of charge to flow through a motor it the current is 2.5 A ? 5. How long would it take for 2000 coulombs of charge to flow through a motor it the current is 2.5 A ?
Q = 2000 c
_________________________________________________________________________________
I = 2.5 A _________________________________________________________________________________
t = Q / t
_________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________
t = 2000 / 2.5
