Calculate the charge that flows past a point in a circuit with a 5.0A current for five minutes.

A coulomb the amount of charge that passes in 1 second when the current is 1 ampere.Q = It t = 5 x 60 = 300 (s) we must use Si units in physics hence the conversion to seconds here. Q = 5 x 300 Q = 1500 (C)
