How long would a constant current of 12.0 amperes

Question

How long would a constant current of 12.0 amperes be required to flow in order for 5000 coulombs of charge to pass through a cell?

Answer 1

if memory serves, 1 amp is a coulomb per second. your current is 12 coul per sec. so it requires 416.67 seconds or 6.944 minutes

Answer 2

Current is the rate of flow of (electric) charge per second.

I = C/t

We need to find 't' now

t = C/I

= 5000/12

= 416.6 seconds (just 3.3 seconds less than 7 minutes of time)
