JAMB 2003 - Question 39
Physics 2003 JAMB Past Questions - Question 39: In the calibration of an ammeter using Faraday's laws of electrolysis, the ammeter reading is kept constant at 1.20A. If 0.990g of copper is deposited in 40 minutes, the correction to be applied to the ammeter is
Choose the correct answers from the options given.
A:
B:
C:
D:
Correct Answer
C
Explanation
From faraday's law of electrolysis
M = I t Z
0.990 = I x (40 x 60) x 3.3 x 10^-4
?0.990/2400×3.3×10^−4 = 1.25AThus the correction to be made = 1.25 − 1.20 = 0.05A
