Formula for current flowing through a wire is \(I=6 t^{2}+4 t-2\) here \(\mathrm{t}\) is in second and I is an ampere. In this wire, what is the quantity of electric charge passing in time interval \(1 \mathrm{sec}\) to 2 sec? (A) \(8 \mathrm{C}\) (B) \(18 \mathrm{C}\) (C) \(20 \mathrm{C}\) (D) \(24 \mathrm{C}\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
The quantity of electric charge passing through the wire in the time interval from 1 second to 2 seconds is \(18 \mathrm{C}\).

Step by step solution

01

Write down the given formula

The formula for the current flowing through the wire is given as: \[ I(t) = 6t^2 + 4t - 2 \]
02

Integrate the current function with respect to time

To find the electric charge passing through the wire, we need to integrate the current function with respect to the time interval, between 1 second and 2 seconds. The integral can be written as: \[Q = \int_1^2 I(t) dt = \int_1^2 (6t^2 + 4t - 2) dt \]
03

Evaluate the integral

Now, we can evaluate the integral as follows: \[\begin{align*} Q &= \left[ 2t^3 + 2t^2 - 2t \right]_1^2 \\ &= \left[ 2(2)^3 + 2(2)^2 - 2(2) \right] - \left[ 2(1)^3 + 2(1)^2 - 2(1) \right] \\ &= (16 + 8 - 4) - (2 + 2 - 2) \\ &= 20 - 2 \\ &= 18 \mathrm{C} \end{align*}\]
04

State the answer

The quantity of electric charge passing through the wire in the time interval from 1 second to 2 seconds is 18 Coulombs. Thus, the correct answer is (B) 18 C.
