Answer:
Total charge, q = 1800 C
Explanation:
It is given that,
Power of light bulb, P = 60 watts
It carries a current, I = 0.5 A
Time, t = 1 hour = 3600 seconds
We need to find the total charge passing through it in one hour. We know that current through an electrical appliance is defined as the charge flowing per unit time i.e.
[tex]I=\dfrac{q}{t}[/tex]
[tex]q=I\times t[/tex]
[tex]q=0.5\ A\times 3600\ s[/tex]
q = 1800 C
So, the total charge passing through it is 1800 C. Hence, this is the required solution.
