Answer :
To determine the electric charge transported, multiply the current (37.9 A) by the time (461.0 milliseconds converted to 0.461 seconds). The electric charge transported is 17.4659 coulombs.
The question asks to calculate the amount of electric charge transported when an electric current of 37.9 A flows for a specific duration, which in this case is 461.0 milliseconds. To find this, we use the relationship between current, charge, and time, given by the equation Q = I imes t, where Q is the charge in coulombs, I is the current in amperes, and t is the time in seconds.
To proceed with the calculation, we need to convert the time from milliseconds to seconds by dividing by 1000 since 1 second is equal to 1000 milliseconds. Thus, 461.0 milliseconds is equal to 461.0 / 1000 seconds, or 0.461 seconds.
Now, we multiply the current by the time to get the charge:
Q = 37.9 A imes 0.461 s = 17.4659 C
So, the electric charge transported is 17.4659 coulombs.
