A Current of 3A flows for 5 minutes, what charge is transferred?Group of answer choices15 Coulombs300 Coulombs900 Coulombs0.6 Coulombs

1. ### Break Down the Problem

To find the charge transferred, we can use the formula:

$Q = I \times t$

where:

• $Q$ is the charge in Coulombs,
• $I$ is the current in Amperes,
• $t$ is the time in seconds.

2. ### Relevant Concepts

The current of 3 A flows for 5 minutes. We need to convert the time from minutes to seconds since the formula requires time in seconds.

3. ### Analysis and Detail

• Convert time from minutes to seconds: $t = 5 \text{ minutes} \times 60 \text{ seconds/minute} = 300 \text{ seconds}$

• Now, calculate the charge: $Q = I \times t = 3 \text{ A} \times 300 \text{ s} = 900 \text{ C}$

4. ### Verify and Summarize

The calculations show that when a current of 3 A flows for 300 seconds, the total charge transferred is 900 Coulombs.

Final Answer

The charge transferred is 900 Coulombs.
