Awire delivers 12.0 c of charge in 4.0 s. what is the current in the wire? 3.0 acorrect 8.0 a 16 a 48 a

Current is equal to the quantity of charge, q, passing through a wire in a time period, t. So .

1 ampere (A) is equal to 1 coulomb (C), a measurement of charge, over 1 second (s), a measurement of time.

You are told that the charge, q = 12.0 C and the time, s = 4.0 s. Plug these values into the equation for current:


---

The current is 3.0 A.
