Coulomb's Law

Question 1 • 25-26 TX-Physics B-CR

It takes 8.0 seconds for 12 coulombs of charge to flow through a wire. How much current is flowing through it?

Answer
A
0.67 A
B
1.5 A
C
4.0 A

Explanation

Current is the amount of charge flowing per unit time, so use I = Q ÷ t. With 12 coulombs flowing in 8.0 seconds, I = 12 ÷ 8.0 = 1.5 amperes. The correct choice is B, 1.5 A.
