A charge of 12 c passes through an electroplating apparatus in 2. 0 min. what is the average current?

Sagot :

A charge of 12 c passes through an electroplating apparatus in 2.0 min, then the average current is 0.1 ampere.

What is an electric charge?

Charged material experiences a force when it is exposed to an electromagnetic field due to the physical property of electric charge. You can have a positive or negative electric charge.

Electric current is defined as the charge per unit of time.

The mathematical relation between current and the electric charge

I =Q/T

where I is the current flowing

Q is the total electric charge

T is the time period for which the current is flowing

As given in the problem A charge of 12 c passes through an electroplating apparatus in 2.0 min

Let us first convert the time period of minutes into seconds

1 min = 60 seconds

2 min = 2*60 seconds

         =120 seconds

By using the above relation between electric current and electric charge

and by substituting the respective values of the charge and the time period

I =Q/T

I = 12c/120 seconds

I = 0.1 Ampere

Thus, the average current flowing through the apparatus would be 0.1 Ampere.
