  • Calculating Time to Pass a Given Electric Charge: A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to solve this problem:

    Understanding the Concepts

    * Current (I): The rate of flow of electric charge. Measured in Amperes (A).

    * Charge (Q): The amount of electricity. Measured in Coulombs (C).

    * Time (t): The duration over which the charge flows. Measured in seconds (s).

    The Relationship

    These quantities are related by the following equation:

    * Q = I * t

    Solving the Problem

    1. We know:

    * Q = 9 Coulombs

    * I = 3 Amperes

    2. We need to find:

    * t (time)

    3. Rearrange the equation to solve for time (t):

    * t = Q / I

    4. Substitute the values:

    * t = 9 C / 3 A

    5. Calculate:

    * t = 3 seconds

    Answer: It takes 3 seconds for 9 coulombs to pass a current of 3 amps.
