Current Worksheet

The document provides information about calculating current (I) and charge (Q) using the equation I=Q/t. It includes examples of basic calculations with the equation, medium level calculations that require unit conversions, and word problems applying the concepts. The goal is to calculate unknown values of current, charge, or time given values for two of the three quantities.

1. How much current must there be in a circuit if 1000 coulombs flow past a point in the circuit
in 4 minutes?
2. A circuit is switched on for half a minute and 90 coulombs of charge flowed. What was the
current flowing through the circuit?
3. If there is a current of 10 mA in a circuit for 0.5 s, what quantity of electric charge flows in
through the circuit?
