Accepted Answer

We calculate current from the formula:[tex]I= \frac{q}{t} [/tex] , where q is a electric charge transferred over time t Time should be converted to seconds:1h 15 min= 75min= 4500sI=[tex] \frac{90C}{4500s}=0,02A [/tex] Result is in unit-Ampere

Accepted Answer

Current = C / seconds.1 hour = 3600 seconds15 minutes = 900 seconds1 hour 15 minutes = 4500 seconds90 C / 4500 sec = 0.02 amperes = 20 milliamperes
