The current is given in Amperes (A), and the time must be in seconds (s) to get the charge in Coulombs (C). The given time is 10 minutes, which is 10 60 = 600 seconds. The current is 15 A.
If the current through an electrical machine running on direct current is 15 A and the machine runs for 10 minutes, the charge that passes through the machine during this time is :
