Find the current (in A) when a charge of 1200C flows in 6 seconds. A. 7200 B. 200 C. 100 D. 3600

7200
200
100
3600

The correct answer is $\boxed{\text{C}}$.

Current is the rate of flow of charge. It is measured in amperes (A), and is calculated by dividing the charge (in coulombs, C) by the time (in seconds, s).

In this case, the charge is 1200 C and the time is 6 s. Therefore, the current is $1200 \div 6 = 200 \text{ A}$.

Option A is incorrect because it is the total charge, not the current.

Option B is incorrect because it is the current if the charge were 200 C, not 1200 C.

Option D is incorrect because it is the current if the time were 3600 s, not 6 s.
