Calculate the current in a circuit if 500 C of charge passes through it in 10 minutes. * (1 Point)
a) 0.83A
b) 0.083A
c) 8.3A
d) 83A

Choice a. Approximately on average.

Explanation:

The electric current through a wire is the rate at which electric charge flows through a cross-section of this wire.

Assume that electric charge of size flowed through a wire cross-section over a period of time . The average current in that wire would be:

.

For this question:

, whereas.

Therefore, the average current in this circuit would be:

.

However, the units in the choices are all in (for Amperes.) One Ampere is equal to one . It will take some unit conversations to change the unit of (coulombs-per-minute) to coulombs-per-second.

.

Hence, the most accurate choice here would be choice a.

An  atom  (ours, not carroll's) consists of a positively charged  nucleus, surrounded by one or more negatively charged particles called  electrons. the positive charges equal the negative charges, so the atom has no overall charge; it is electrically neutral. most of an atom's mass is in its nucleus; the mass of an electron is only 1/1836 the mass of the lightest nucleus, that of hydrogen. although the nucleus is heavy, it is quite small compared with the overall size of an atom. the radius of a typical atom is around 0.1 to 0.25 nanometres (nm), whereas the radius of a nucleus is about 10-6  nm.  *  if an atom were enlarged to the size of the earth, its nucleus would be only 200 feet in diameter and could easily rest inside a small football stadium.read more on -
