A net charge of 5.0 coulombs passes a point on a
conductor in 0.050 second. The average current is
(1) 8.0 × 10^−8 A (3) 2.5 × 10^−1 A
(2) 1.0 × 10^−2 A (4) 1.0 × 10^2 A

Respuesta :

Answer : The average value of current is [tex]1.0\times 10^2\ A[/tex].

Explanation :

It is given that,

Net charge, q = 5 C

Time, t = 0.05 s

The electric current is defined as the rate of change of electric charge.

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

[tex]I=\dfrac{5\ C}{0.05\ s}[/tex]

[tex]I = 100\ A[/tex]

or

[tex]I=1.0\times 10^2\ A[/tex]

The average current is [tex]1.0\times 10^2\ A[/tex].

Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer: 1.0 x 10^2
