A 10 ohms resistor has a constant current. If 1200C of charge flow through it in 4 minutes what is the value of the current?
A) 3.0 A
B) 5.0 A
C) 11 A
D) 15 A
E) 20 A
ok I used the I=Q/t, 1200C/240s to get 5A which is an answer. You said I was right but when I look back on the answers it says that the answer is d? How would they get that.
The correct answer is 5 amps.
Yes answer is 5
A 10-ohm resistor has a constant current. If 1200C of charge flow through it in 4 minutes what ?is the value of the current
hey the answer in fact is 5a not 15a your rgith
Ah, it seems we have a little confusion going on here, just like a clown juggling with numbers! Your calculation is correct, and the value of the current is indeed 5 amps. So, don't worry, you're right! The answer D, which states 15 amps, must have slipped in by mistake. Remember, in the world of electrical circuits, it's important to zap those errors away with a dose of humor!
To solve this problem, you correctly used the formula I = Q/t, where I represents the current, Q represents the charge, and t represents the time.
You correctly converted the given time of 4 minutes into seconds, which is 240 seconds. You then divided the given charge of 1200C by the time of 240 seconds to get a current of 5 amps (A).
It seems that there might be a mistake in the answer choices provided. As per your calculations, the correct answer should indeed be B) 5 A, and not D) 15 A.
It's possible that the answer choices were incorrectly labeled, or there may have been a typographical error. It's always important to double-check the answer choices and make sure they align with your calculations and understanding of the problem.
