Solution

Let's go through each question in detail, step by step.

Given Formula

The relationship between current (II), charge (QQ), and time (tt) is: I=QtI = \frac{Q}{t} where:

  • II is the current in amperes (A),
  • QQ is the charge in coulombs (C),
  • tt is the time in seconds (s).

We'll use this formula and rearrange it as needed to solve each question.


Question 1

Calculate the current when 80C of charge flows in 16s.

Using the formula: I=Qt=80C16s=5AI = \frac{Q}{t} = \frac{80 \, \text{C}}{16 \, \text{s}} = 5 \, \text{A}

Answer: The current is 5A5 \, \text{A}.


Question 2

A charge of 96C flows in a wire carrying a current of AA. Calculate how long it takes for this amount of charge to flow.

To find time (tt): t=QI=96CIt = \frac{Q}{I} = \frac{96 \, \text{C}}{I} However, since the current (II) is not provided, we cannot calculate tt without this information.

Answer: Additional information (the current) is needed to solve this question.


Question 3

Calculate the current when 100C of charge flows in 20s.

Using the formula: I=Qt=100C20s=5AI = \frac{Q}{t} = \frac{100 \, \text{C}}{20 \, \text{s}} = 5 \, \text{A}

Answer: The current is 5A5 \, \text{A}.


Question 4

In an investigation, a student passed a current of 0.6A through copper sulfate solution for 300s. Calculate the charge flow through the solution.

To find the charge (QQ): Q=I×t=0.6A×300s=180CQ = I \times t = 0.6 \, \text{A} \times 300 \, \text{s} = 180 \, \text{C}

Answer: The charge flow through the solution is 180C180 \, \text{C}.


Question 5

A student connects a resistor to a cell for 60 seconds. The current through the resistor is 0.97A. Calculate the charge flow to 2 significant figures.

Using the formula: Q=I×t=0.97A×60s=58.2CQ = I \times t = 0.97 \, \text{A} \times 60 \, \text{s} = 58.2 \, \text{C} Rounded to 2 significant figures: Q58CQ \approx 58 \, \text{C}

Answer: The charge flow is 58C58 \, \text{C}.


Question 6

The circuit is connected for 300s. The total current in the circuit stays at 0.56A. Calculate the charge flow.

Using the formula: Q=I×t=0.56A×300s=168CQ = I \times t = 0.56 \, \text{A} \times 300 \, \text{s} = 168 \, \text{C}

Answer: The charge flow is 168C168 \, \text{C}.


Question 7

After 0.10 seconds, the bulb works at its normal brightness, what is the current at this point? The bulb works at this brightness for 30 seconds, before being switched off. Calculate the charge that flows through the bulb during this time. Give the unit.

To answer this, we need to interpret the graph.

  1. From the graph, at t=0.10t = 0.10 seconds, the current appears to be around 3.5A3.5 \, \text{A}.
  2. The bulb remains at this current for 30 seconds.

Using Q=I×tQ = I \times t: Q=3.5A×30s=105CQ = 3.5 \, \text{A} \times 30 \, \text{s} = 105 \, \text{C}

Answer: The charge that flows through the bulb is 105C105 \, \text{C}.
