CONCEPT:

Electric current:

  • The flow of electric charges through a conductor constitutes an electric current.
  • Quantitatively, electric current in a conductor across an area held perpendicular to the direction of flow of charge is defined as the amount of charge flowing across that area per unit time i.e.,

  • SI unit of current is ampere and it is denoted by the letter A.

CALCULATION:

Given - Electric current (I) = 1 A and time (t) = 10 minutes = 600 sec

  • The amount of electric charge that flows through the circuit is\

⇒ Q = I × t

⇒ Q = 1 × 600 = 600 C
