Answer
**Given:**<br /><br />* Current (I) = 38 A<br />* Time (t) = 1 hour = 3600 seconds (since 1 hour = 60 minutes * 60 seconds/minute)<br /><br />**Required:**<br /><br />* Charge (Q)<br /><br />**Analysis:**<br /><br />The relationship between charge, current, and time is given by the formula:<br /><br />Q = I * t<br /><br />**Solution:**<br /><br />Q = 38 A * 3600 s<br />Q = 136,800 C<br /><br />**Statement:**<br /><br />The amount of charge that passes through the generator is 136,800 Coulombs.<br />
