Chapter 1 : Basic Electric Circuit Concepts

1. If the current in an electric conductor is 2.4 A, how many coulombs of charge pass any point
in a 30 second interval ?

2. Determine the time interval required for a 12 A battery charger to deliver 4800 C.

3. A lightning bolt carrying 30,000 A lasts for 50 micro seconds. If the lightning strikes an
airplane flying at 20,000 feet, what is the charge deposited on the plane?

4. If a 12 V battery delivers 100 J in 5 s, find :

a) The amount of charge delivered

b) The current produced

5. The current in a conductor is 3.5 A. How many coulombs of charge pass any point in a time
interval of 2.5 min?

6. Determine the amount of power absorbed or supplied by the element in Figure 1.1

a) V1 = 5 V and I = 6 A
b) V1 = 5 V and I = -7 A
c) V1 = -14 V and I = 6 A
d) V1 = -14 V and I = -7 A
