Question

The amount of charge that moves through the filament of a lightbulb in 2.00 s is 2.67 C. What is the current in the lightbulb?

Answer 1

The current in the light bulb is `1.34 C/s`

Explanation:

To find the current in the light bulb, we have to use the equation given below:

• I should mention that Q stands for electric charge, t stands for time, and I stands for current.

Let's identify our knowns and unknowns:

`color(blue)("Knowns:"`

• Q (2.67 Coulombs)
• t (2.00s)

`color(red)("Unknowns:"`

• I (current)

All we have to do now is plug the given values into the equation and solve for I:

`I = (2.67C)/(2.00s)`

Thus, the current is 1.34 A or 1.34 C/s

Amperes or Coulombs/second means the same thing.
