charge =
amps * time
Q=
it
Q = charge in coulombs C
i = current in amps (A)
t = time in seconds (s) “
Time constant of resistor-capacitor combination
R*C
Potential difference across a capacitor
Vs * e ^(t/time constant)
Power =
IV
V =
IR
Time =
Energy / Power
Electric field strength =
F/Q = V/Distance = q / 4pi8.85*10^-12 * r^2
Electric potential =
q / 4pi8.85*10^-12 * r
Electric potential energy =
q * q1 / 4pi8.85*10^-12 * r
Charge being suspended between two parallel capacitor plates (electric field)
V = mgd/q = qE
Charge being accelerated between two parallel capacitor plates
1/2mv^2 = Fd = qE = qV
Force on a current carrying a conductor
BIL sin theta
Formula for force on a charge in a magnetic field
BQV sin theta
Magnitude of B field for a single conductor
Br = (4pi10^-7I) / 2pi*r
Magnitude of B field for a coil
Br = (4pi10^-7NI) / 2*r
Magnitude of B field for a solenoid
4pi10^-7(n/m)I
Vrms =
Peak voltage / root(2)
Irms =
Peak current / root (2)
Peak voltage =
P2P voltage / 2
Formula for transformers
“Vp / Vs = Np / Ns
where Vp = primary voltage, Vs is secondary voltage, Np is number of turns on the primary, Ns is the number of turns on the secondary”
number of electrons =
Q / 1.602 * 10^-19
Q =
Capacitance*V
BQV
mv^2 / r
