What is the quantity of electricity produced when a current of 0.5A is passed for 5 hours 45 mins? (1F = 96500C)
0. 11F
0.12F
0.22F
1.1F
2.2F

Explanation

Given:

Current, I = 0.5 A , t = 5 hours 45 mins = (5 x 60 x 60) + (45 x 60) = 20,700 seconds ( Time must be converted to the standard unit which is second)

Also, recall that Q = It = 0.5 x 20,700 = 10,350C

Thus, if  1F = 96,500C

  X  = 10,350C

X = \(\frac{10,350}{96,500}\)

X = 0.107 

X = 0.11F
