If 1 ampere current flows through 2m long conductor the charge flow through it in 1 hour will be_______________?

Correct answer: A. 3600C

  • A. 3600C
  • B. 7200C
  • C. 1C
  • D. 2C

Explanation

Charge flow is Q = It, so Q = 1 A x 3600 s = 3600 C in one hour. The 2 m length is irrelevant because current already gives charge flow per unit time. Option b, 7200 C, would incorrectly multiply by the wire length.

About Steady Current

Steady current is the continuous flow of charge at a constant rate through a conductor. The topic covers current, charge, potential difference, resistance, Ohm's law, resistivity and electrical power, along with series and parallel circuits, while distinguishing conventional current direction from electron motion.
