Answer:
The electric charge passes is 15.2 C.
Explanation:
The electric current is drawn from a battery = 16 A
The diameter of copper wire is = 5 mm
The length of copper wire is = 1.52 m
Running time of starter motor before the start of car engine = 0.95 s
Therefore, the current 16 A passes through the copper wire for 0.95 seconds.
The calculation of electric charge passes:
