+rep for just confirming if i'm right in a science problem

+rep for correcting me pls lol

What is the current in an electric stove element that creates 150J of heat at 240V over a 5 minute period?

G: 150J (E), 240V (V), and 5m (300s) (t)

R: Using the equation for current, I=Q/T, I know that I have the variable t, which is 300s, but not the others.
However, I can rearrange the equation of V=E/Q to Q=E/V to figure out my variable Q, my last variable needed to find the current (I)

A/S: Q=150/250
= 0.625C

I=0.625/300
= 2.083x10^-03

S: Therefore the current is 2.083x10^03.






The number does not look right at all but can someone tell if I'm doing anything wrong?

Is this physics? I came here to take a look and immediately hated my life because of what I was reading. I'm in physics in hs right now and I hate it. I'll attempt to look at it anyways

Ummmmmmmmm I think, LOL, I'm literally just skating by this unit with no idea what's going on, so I think so-- haaaaaaaahaaaa

Im sorry :(

Holy fuck those questions are exactly mine OMG


Well, helpful nontheless, so rep for ya :D

haha sweet! When it comes to science questions usually if you google the exact question there are answer online in some fashion. Sometimes they're in pdf form and a whole homework lesson is written out!

yea you are correct. This seems like physics 1 questions which used to be a problem at first for me. However, once you pass physics 3 (magnetism and elctromagnetics) this is really simple.
