One coulomb is defined as the amount of electrical charge transported, per second, at a current of one ampere. In terms of units, in SI a coulomb is special name given to an ampere second. The equation for this, is: Q = I t. Where Q = charge, I = current, and t = time.

So, if we change the subject of the equation, for time, t, we have: t = Q/I = 10/5 = 2 s.

Current will flow as long as the power supply is good and there's a power-control device true or false?

Current will flow as long as there is a difference of potential (a voltage) and a path for current to flow. So no power-control device is required for current flow but yes it will flow with a power control decive.


What happens to current flow in a capacitive when the DC voltage across the capacitor is approximately equal to the source voltage?

As long as you don't exceed the breakdown voltage of the capacitor ... which is marked right on it ... DC voltage on it produces NO current flow through it. Only AC 'appears' to flow through a capacitor, and even that appearance is bogus when you really get down to it.


Why cannot the B-field of an infinitely long straight current-carrying conductor have a component in the direction of the current?

As induced magnetic lines exist in a plane perpendicular to the direction of flow of current, the component in the direction of current i.e cos 90 component will be zero. Recall cos 90 = 0. Hence the answer


Why electricity does not flow through an open circuit but flows through a closed circuit?

Electricity does not flow in open circuit because the path is not a complete circuit and has the maximum impedance to flow of electricity while it flows in short circuit because electricity always wants a path with least impedance to flow which short circuit is one of such pathAnswerCurrent can jndeed flow through an open circuit. A capacitor is an open circuit, yet it will allow a d.c. current to flow for a short period of time, and an a.c. current can flow continuously.


What are continuous circuits?

Continuous circuits are electrical circuits that provide a continuous path for current to flow without interruption. They consist of interconnected components such as resistors, capacitors, and power sources, allowing for the steady movement of electric charge. In a continuous circuit, the flow of electricity is maintained as long as the circuit is closed and the power source is active. This contrasts with open circuits, where the flow of current is disrupted.

How can you measure the speed of water?

You can measure the speed of water using a flow meter, a current meter, or by timing how long it takes for a floating object to travel a certain distance. Another method is to calculate the speed based on the slope and roughness of the stream channel.


How long does it take at total charge of 10.0 C to pass through a cross-sectional area of a copper wire that carries a current of 3.1 A?

Here we are given 3.1 amperes of current and are asked to find the time it takes 10 coulombs of charge to pass a given point. First ask yourself how many coulombs are passing a given point in one second. If we have 3.1 amperes of current, we have 3.1 coulombs of charge passing any given point in one second. If it takes 1 second for 3.1 coulombs of charge to pass, how long will it take for 10C of charge to pass?
