Question

The current in a conductor varies in time as shown in the figure below.

Four connected line segments are plotted in the first quadrant of a coordinate plane with its horizontal axis labeled "Time (s)" and its vertical axis labeled "Current (A)."

The first line segment is horizontal and goes from (0, 100) to (4, 100).
The second line segment goes up and right from (4, 100) to (7, 300).
The third line segment is horizontal and goes from (7, 300) to (10, 300).
The fourth line segment goes down and right from (10, 300) to (13, 100).

(a) How many coulombs of charge pass through a cross section of the conductor in the interval from t = 0 to t = 13.0 s?
C

(b) What constant current would transport the same total charge during the 13.0-s interval as does the actual current?
A
