Answer

(a) $0.65A$ (b) $2.46\times 10^{-12}s$

Work Step by Step

(a) We know that $P=VI$ This can be rearranged as: $I=\frac{P}{V}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $I=\frac{780}{120}$ $I=0.65A$ (b) As $I=\frac{Q}{t}$ This can be rearranged as: $t=\frac{Q}{I}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $t=\frac{1.6\times 10^{-12}}{0.65}$ $t=2.46\times 10^{-12}s$
