Calculate the current in a circuit if 500 C of charge passes through it in 10 minutes. * (1 Point)
a) 0.83A
b) 0.083A
c) 8.3A
d) 83A

Choice a. Approximately on average.

Explanation:

The electric current through a wire is the rate at which electric charge flows through a cross-section of this wire.

Assume that electric charge of size flowed through a wire cross-section over a period of time . The average current in that wire would be:

.

For this question:

Therefore, the average current in this circuit would be:

.

However, the units in the choices are all in (for Amperes.) One Ampere is equal to one . It will take some unit conversations to change the unit of (coulombs-per-minute) to coulombs-per-second.

.

Hence, the most accurate choice here would be choice a.

whichever one it is, it's definitely not one that you included on the list you provided.

d. air pressure decreases as altitude increases.
