Electric current (I) is defined as the rate of flow of electric charge (Q) per unit time (t). The relationship is given by Q = I * t.
Given the current (I) = 1.5 A and the time (t) = 10 ms. First, convert the time into seconds: 10 ms = 10 * 10^-3 seconds = 0.01 seconds. Now, calculate the charge: Q = 1.5 A * 0.01 s = 0.015 Coulombs (C).
