"If ‘q’ coulombs of charge travel through a conductor of length ‘?’ m with a velocity of ‘v’ m/s, what is the current flowing through the conductor ?"
How does the flow of current differ in a superconductor compared with the flow in ordinary conductors?
The current in a wire varies with time according to the relationship $I=55 \mathrm{~A}-\left(0.65 \mathrm{~A} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\right) t^{2}$. (a) How many coulombs of charge pass a cross section of the wire in the time interval between $t=0$ and $t=8.2 \mathrm{~s} ?$ (b) What constant current would transport the same charge in the same time interval?
