Answer:
3 A
Explanation:
Charge is a product of current and time, expressed as Q=It where Q is charge in Coulombs, I is current in Amperes and t is time taken in seconds. Making I the subject of the formula then![Rendered by QuickLaTeX.com I=\frac {Q}{t}](https://documen.tv/wp-content/ql-cache/quicklatex.com-b4b0ea3f209d16d2b84390df211fb864_l3.png)
Substituting 120 C for charge and 40 s for t then![Rendered by QuickLaTeX.com I=\frac {120}{40}=3\ A](https://documen.tv/wp-content/ql-cache/quicklatex.com-8e38ff1d6afed6a88de72d6f776e5309_l3.png)
From the choices given, it appears that time should have been 4 s to get option A or alternatively charge should have been 1200 C
