currents

mercredi 29 janvier 2014

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data

Typical household currents are on the order of a few amperes.

If a 1.60A current flows through the leads of an electrical appliance, how many coulombs pass through it in 6.50min ?



2. Relevant equations



I=ΔQ/Δt



3. The attempt at a solution



6.50min=1min/60s= 0.108s



I*Δt=ΔQ

1.60A*0.108s= 0.173C



I figured that delta Q would be in Coulombs but I was wrong. What further step do I need to do?
