Solution

The current flowing through the heating element can be calculated using Ohm's law, which states that current (I) is equal to the charge (Q) divided by the time (t). In this case, the charge (Q) is 2400 coulombs and the time (t) is 200 seconds.

So, the calculation would be as follows:

I = Q/t I = 2400 coulombs / 200 seconds I = 12 amperes

Therefore, the current flowing through the heating element is 12 amperes.
