90 coulombs of charge is passing through a conductor in 4 minutes. what is the electric current

through that conductor?

1. Q = 90 C

   T = 4 Mins = 4 × 60 = 240s

   I = Q/T

   = 90/240

   = 0.375

   ∴ I = 0.375

2. Given:

   90 coulombs of charge is passing through a conductor in 4 minutes.

   To find:

   Current through the conductor?

   Calculation:

   Electric current is defined as the rate of flow of charges through a cross-section of the conductor.

   [tex] \rm \therefore \: i = \dfrac{q}{t} [/tex]

   [tex] \rm \implies \: i = \dfrac{90}{(4 \times 60)} [/tex]

   [tex] \rm \implies \: i = \dfrac{9}{24} [/tex]

   [tex] \rm \implies \: i = 0.375 \: ampere[/tex]

   So, current through the conductor is 0.375 Amp.
