QJEEM24Phb20f: JEE Main 2024 Physics - Class 12 JEEM24Phb20f Solution: The current in a conductor is expressed as , where is in Ampere …

The current in a conductor is expressed as I=3t2+4t3I=3 t^2+4 t^3 , where II is in Ampere and tt is in second. The amount of electric charge that flows through a section of the conductor during t=1 st=1 \mathrm{~s} to t=2 st=2 \mathrm{~s} is __________ C.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

To find the amount of electric charge that flows through a section of the conductor, we have to integrate the current over the given time interval. The current I(t)I(t) as a function of time tt is given by:

I=3t2+4t3

The electric charge QQ that flows through the conductor from time t=1t = 1 s to t=2t = 2 s is calculated by integrating the current I(t)I(t) with respect to time over this interval:

Q=∫t1t2I(t)dt

Substituting the given limits ( t1=1t_1=1 and t2=2t_2=2 ) and the expression for I(t)I(t) , we get:

Q=∫12(3t2+4t3)dt

Now we'll integrate the function with respect to tt :

Q=[33t3+44t4]12

Simplifying the integrated function:

Q=[t3+t4]12

Substitute the upper and lower limits of the integration:

Q=[(2)3+(2)4]−[(1)3+(1)4] Q=[8+16]−[1+1] Q=24−2 Q=22 C

Therefore, the amount of electric charge that flows through the section of the conductor from t=1t=1 s to t=2t=2 s is 22 Coulombs.
