Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Understand the Problem
We need to calculate the milliampere-seconds (mAs) given the current in milliamperes (mA) and the exposure time in milliseconds (ms).
Step 2: Convert Units
First, convert the exposure time from milliseconds to seconds:
\[ 300 \, \text{ms} = 0.300 \, \text{s} \]
Step 3: Calculate mAs
Use the formula:
\[ \text{mAs} = \text{mA} \times \text{time (s)} \]
Substitute the given values:
\[ \text{mAs} = 200 \, \text{mA} \times 0.300 \, \text{s} = 60 \, \text{mAs} \]
