Which wire has the most total charge carriers flowing past a point in the wire during the specified time interval

Respuesta :

The wire 2 has the most charge flowing in it at the given time interval.

Charge flowing in each wire

The total charge flowing in each wire is calculated using the following equation;

Q = It

where;

  • I is the current
  • t is the time of current flow

Charge in wire 1

The charge flowing in wire 1 is calculated as follows;

Q = 1 x 60 = 60 C

Charge in wire 2

The charge flowing in wire 2 is calculated as follows;

Q = 2 x 45 = 90 C

Charge in wire 3

The charge flowing in wire 3 is calculated as follows;

Q = 3 x 10 = 30 C

Thus, the wire 2 has the most charge flowing in it at the given time interval.
