A current of I ampere is passing through a conductor, the charge passing through it in one minute is:
Correct answer: B. 60 coulomb
- A. 40 coulomb
- B. 60 coulomb
- C. 2 coulomb
- D. None of these
Explanation
To find the charge passing through the conductor in one minute, multiply the current (I) by the time (60 seconds) since 1 minute equals 60 seconds. Therefore, the charge passing through the conductor in one minute is 60 × I coulombs.

About Current Electricity
Steady current relates charge flow to potential difference, resistance and resistivity, including how temperature changes a conductor's resistance. Sources with internal resistance have terminal voltage below their emf when delivering current, and maximum power output occurs under a specific load condition rather than at zero resistance.
