In the SI system of units, one coulomb (1 C) is defined to be the charge that passes a point every second when a constant (electric) current of one ampere, also called one amp, (1 A) flows past that point. Thus, one coulomb equals one ampere second (1 C = 1A s). If Q is the charge and / is the constant (or average) current past a point in a time t, Q=It. An average current of 2.0 A flows through all parts of a wire for 5.0 minutes. How much charge passes by any point in the wire in that time? 10.0 C B. 120.0 C 600.0 C

1. Suppose the current in a conductor decreases exponentially with time according to the equation I(t) = I0sin(π/10t) where I0 =10 A is the initial current (at t = 0) and t is a constant having dimensions of time. Consider a fixed observation point within the conductor. How much charge passes this point between t = 0 and t=5 s?
While tracking the speed of individual particles is great, a more useful and simpler quantity to measure is current which is the amount of charges moving through some cross-sectional area per unit time. It has units of Coulombs per second (or Amps} and is abbreviated by the symbol i. See if you can write out a formula for the current through a section of wire with cross sectional area A given the average speed of particles v, the charge on each particle, q, and the number of charges per unit volume, n. Use dimensional analysis for this formula. Which of the terms in your formula do you think the electric field can influence?
