Determine the current in the circuit if an electric charge of 60 cells passed through it in 5 minutes.

To determine the current in the circuit, it is necessary to divide the amount of charge by the time it passes through the circuit:

I = q / t, where q is the charge passed through the circuit (according to the condition q = 60 C), t is the time of passage of the charge through the circuit (according to the condition t = 5 min; 1 min = 60 s and t = 300 s).

Let’s calculate:

I = q / t = 60/300 = 0.2 A.

Answer: In an electrical circuit, the current strength is 0.2 A.
