Example 12.1 A current of 0.5 A is drawn by a filament of an electric bulb for 10 minutes. Find the amount of electric charge that flows through circuit. Current drawn = I = 0.5 A Time taken = t = 10 minutes = 10 Γ 60 seconds = 600 seconds We need to find charge flowing (Q) We know that Current = (πΆβππππ ππππ€πππ)/(ππππ π‘ππππ) I = π/π‘ I Γ t = Q Q = I Γ t Q = 0.5 Γ 600 Q = 5/10 Γ 600 Q = 5 Γ 60 Q = 300 C Charge flowing is 300 C
