How to Calculate and Solve for the Current, Time and Quantity of Charge of an Electrolysis | The Calculator Encyclopedia

Last Updated on February 18, 2024

To calculate the quantity of charge, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are current (I) and time (T).

The formula for calculating the quantity of charge:

Q = It

Where;
Q = Quantity of charge
I = Current
T = Time

Let’s solve an example;
Find the quantity of charge with a current of 24 and time of 12.

This implies that;
I = Current = 24
T = Time = 12

So, Q = It
Q = 24 x 12
Q = 288

Therefore, the quantity of charge is 288 Coulombs (C).

Calculating the Current (I) using the Quantity of Charge and Time

I = Q / t

Where;
I = Current
Q = Quantity of charge
T = Time

Let’s solve an example;
Given that the quantity of charge is 240 with a time of 14. Find the Current?

This implies that;
Q = Quantity of charge = 240
T = Time = 14

That is, I = Q / t
I = 240 / 14
I = 17.14

Therefore, the current is 17.14 ampere.

Calculating the Time (t) when the Quantity of Charge and Current is Given

t = Q / I

Where;
I = Current
Q = Quantity of charge
T = Time

Let’s solve an example;
Find the time of a quantity of charge of 90 with a current of 30.

This implies that;
I = Current = 30
Q = Quantity of charge = 90

Then, t = Q / I
t = 90 / 30
t = 3

Therefore, the time is 3 secs.
