The current through a wire varies with time asI = I_(0)+ alpha t , where I_(0) = 10 A and alpha = 4 As^(-1) . The charge that flows across a cross-section of the wire in first 10 seconds is .....

Answer»

SOLUTION :Current , I = `(dq)/(dt) = I_(0) + ALPHA t `
`thereforedq= (I_(0) + alpha t ) dt `
INTEGRATING on both sides,
` Q = int dq = int_(t = 0)^(t = 10 ) (I_(0) + alpha t) dt `
`= int_(0)^(10) l_(0)" dt " + int_(0)^(10) alpha` t dt
`= I_(0) int_(0)^(10) dt + alphaint_(0)^(10) ` t dt
= `I_(0) [ t]_(0)^(10) + alpha [ (t^(2))/(2) ]_(0)^(10)`
`= 10I_(0)+ 50 alpha `
Substituting ` I_(0) = 10 and alpha = 4 `
Q = 10 (10 ) + 50(4) = 300 C
