Given that,

Charge through a wire is

Q = 4000C

Time for charge to pass through the wire is

t = 50seconds

Then,

Current through the wire is the rate of charge passing through the wire

Q = it

Where

Q is charge.

I is current

t is time taken

Therefore,

I = Q / t

I = 4000 / 50

I = 80 Amps
