Correct answer: D

  1. Given current-time relation

The current is given as i(t)=αt+βt2i(t)=\alpha t+\beta t^2i(t)=αt+βt2 with α=20 A s−1,β=8 A s−2\alpha=20\ \text{A s}^{-1}, \qquad \beta=8\ \text{A s}^{-2}α=20 A s−1,β=8 A s−2

We need the total charge crossing the wire section in time 000 to 15 s15\,\text{s}15s.

  1. Use relation between charge and current

Charge is the time integral of current: q=∫015i(t) dtq=\int_0^{15} i(t)\,dtq=∫015​i(t)dt

So, q=∫015(αt+βt2) dtq=\int_0^{15}(\alpha t+\beta t^2)\,dtq=∫015​(αt+βt2)dt

Substitute the given values: q=∫015(20t+8t2) dtq=\int_0^{15}(20t+8t^2)\,dtq=∫015​(20t+8t2)dt

  1. Integrate term by term

q=20∫015t dt+8∫015t2 dtq=20\int_0^{15} t\,dt+8\int_0^{15} t^2\,dtq=20∫015​tdt+8∫015​t2dt

Using ∫t dt=t22,∫t2 dt=t33\int t\,dt=\frac{t^2}{2}, \qquad \int t^2\,dt=\frac{t^3}{3}∫tdt=2t2​,∫t2dt=3t3​

we get q=20[t22]015+8[t33]015q=20\left[\frac{t^2}{2}\right]_0^{15}+8\left[\frac{t^3}{3}\right]_0^{15}q=20[2t2​]015​+8[3t3​]015​

  1. Evaluate at limits

First term: 20⋅1522=20⋅2252=225020\cdot \frac{15^2}{2}=20\cdot \frac{225}{2}=225020⋅2152​=20⋅2225​=2250

Second term: 8⋅1533=8⋅33753=8⋅1125=90008\cdot \frac{15^3}{3}=8\cdot \frac{3375}{3}=8\cdot 1125=90008⋅3153​=8⋅33375​=8⋅1125=9000

Therefore, q=2250+9000=11250 Cq=2250+9000=11250\,\text{C}q=2250+9000=11250C

  1. Match with options

q=11250 C\boxed{q=11250\,\text{C}}q=11250C​

So the correct option is: D: 11250 C
