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?
