Charge
is the basic quantity responsible for electric phenomena.
The symbol for charge is q(t). The unit of charge is the coulomb
(C).
Current
t is the time rate of flow of electric charge past a given
point. Generally current varies with time and is denoted by i(t).
Its unit is the ampere (A) which is equivalent to 1 coulomb/sec.
how are current and charge related
current is the derivative of charge and charge is the integral of current.
I sub(ab)
current goes from a to b
Given q(t) = 10 t for t ≥ 0, find i(t)
derive the equation for charge
solve for I
Given i(t) = 10 e–2t for t ≥ 0, and q(0) = 0. Find q(t).
integrate to find the equation for q(t)
definite integral using q(0) = 0
Voltage
s the difference in potential between two terminals.
how are energy and charge related
the derivative of energy (w) with respect to charge(q) is charge/ the integral of charge is energy
how are power and energy related
Power is the derivative of energy(w) with respect to time
the integral of energy is charge
