The ball is displaced to the left and then oscillates backwards and forwards between the two plates. The ball touches a plate once every 0.05 s. Every time it touches a plate, a charge of 2.8 × 10−8 C (0.000 000 028 C) is transferred. Calculate the average current produced by the repeated transfer of charge.

Average current produced by the repeated transfer of charge is 5.6 × 10⁻⁷ ampere

Explanation:

The formula to be used here is

Q = It

where Q is the quantity of electricity and it is measured coulombs (C); 2.8 × 10⁻⁸ C or 0.000000028 C

I is current and it is measured in ampere (amps or A); unknown

t is time and it is measured in seconds (s); 0.05 s

Since, average current is what is unknown

I =Q/t

I = 0.000000028/0.05

I = 5.6 × 10⁻⁷ A

Average current produced by the repeated transfer of charge is 5.6 × 10⁻⁷ ampere
