Systems of Units
Example:
a. 1,000,000 ohms

= 1 x 106 ohms
= 1 megaohm (M)
= 100 x 103 maters
= 100 kilometers (km)
= 1 x 10-3 seconds
= 1 milisecond (ms)
= 0.1 x 10-6 farad
= 0.1 microfarad (F)

Definition:

Charge -electrical property of the atomic

particles, measured in coulumbs(C).
1C = 6.24 x 1018 electrons
e = -1.602 x 10-19 C

Current-time rate of change of charge,

measured in amperes (A).

Charge and Current

Charge and Current

Direct current a current that remains

Example:
If given q = (10 10e-2t) mC, find the current at t= 0.5 s.

constant with time.

Alternating current a current that
varies sinusoidally with time.

Example :
The current flowing through an element is

2 A, 0 < t < 1
i= 2
2t A, t > 1
Calculate the charge entering the element from t=0 to
t=2s.
