The correct answer is option 1: 0.015 C.

To understand why, we need to use the formula for charge (Q) which is given by Q = I * t, where I is the current flowing through the circuit and t is the time duration. In this question, the current is given as 1.5 A and the time is given as 10 ms (which is equivalent to 0.01 seconds).

Substituting the given values, we get Q = 1.5 A * 0.01 s = 0.015 C.

Therefore, the amount of charge that flows through the incandescent lamp in 10 ms is 0.015 C.

It`s important to note that charge is measured in coulombs (C) and represents the quantity of electrons flowing in the circuit. The higher the current and the longer the time, the greater the amount of charge that will flow through the circuit.
