The current through a lightbulb is 0.5 amps. How much charge passes through the lightbulb each minute?

Question 6 options:

2 Coulombs


30 Coulombs


120 Volts


2 Volts


120 Coulombs


30 Volts

Respuesta :

Answer:

30 Coulombs

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Current  = 0.5A

Time  = 1min  = 60s

Unknown:

Charge that must pass through = ?

Solution:

The current in the circuit can be expressed using the equation below;

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

I is the current, q is the charge and t is the time taken

 q  = current x time  = 0.5 x 60 = 30 coulombs
