Question 3

When starter motor of a car is switched on for 0.8 s, a charge 24 C passes through the coil of the motor. Calculate the current in the coil.

Answer

Given,

Time = 0.8 s

charge = 24 C

current = ?

I=Qt\text I = \dfrac{\text Q}{\text t}

Substituting the values we get,

I=240.8I=30 A\text I = \dfrac{24}{0.8} \\[0.5em] \Rightarrow \text I = 30 \text { A}

Hence, the current in the coil = 30 A
