6. Unit impulse- what do we need it for? • The unit impulse is a valuable idealization and is used widely in science and engineering. Impulses in time are useful idealizations. •  Impulse of current in time delivers a unit charge instantaneously to network. •  Impulse of force in time delivers an instantaneous momentum to a mechanical system.

7. Unit impulse- what do we need it for? • Impulses in space are also useful. •  Impulse of mass density in space represents a point mass. •  Impulse of charge density in space represents a point charge. •  Impulse of light intensity in space represents a point of light. • We can imagine impulses in space and time •  Impulse of light intensity in space and time represents a brief flash of light at a point in space.

12. Unit impulse as the derivative of the unit step • As an example of the method for dealing with generalized functions consider the generalized function • Since u(t) is discontinuous, its derivative does not exist as an ordinary function, but it does as a generalized function.
