Examples Express 1 ms/1000 in SI units. Not too long ago, computer disk space was measured in Mbytes. Modern disks have about 10,000 times more storage capacity. In SI units, what is the capacity unit of modern disks?
Charge, q Recall Coulomb’s Law Force F1 on charge q2 due to charge q1 is given by Charge on an electron (proton) is negative (positive) and equal to 1.602 x 10-19 C Unit: Newton meter2 / coulomb2 volt meter / coulomb Note: Positive force is repulsive, negative force is attractive
Charge flowing past a point in the interval [t0, t] is Electric Current, i Current (in amperes) (A) is the time rate of change of charge q 1 A = 1 C/s Convention: Direction of current flow is that of positive charges, opposite to the direction of electron flow
Voltage The energy in joules (w) required to move a charge (q) of one coulomb through an element is 1 volt (V). 1 volt = 1 joule/coulomb = 1 newton meter/coulomb
Power and Energy Power (p), in watts (W), is the time rate of expending or absorbing energy (w) in joules
Power and Energy Change in energy from time t1 to time t2 Passive sign convention: If p > 0 power is absorbed by the element If p < 0 power is supplied by the element + -
