For a charge function Q(t)Q(t), the instantaneous current at time tt is defined as
Which expression gives the total charge transferred between times t1t_1 and t2t_2 when the current varies with time?
The current in a sensor lead is I(t)=6tI(t)=6t A\(\text{A}\). How much charge passes through the lead from t=0t=0 to t=3t=3 s\(\text{s}\)?
A uniform current density of 5050 A/m2\(\text{A/m}\)^2 crosses a flat surface of area 0.0200.020 m2\(\text{m}\)^2. The angle between J→\(\overrightarrow{J}\) and the surface normal is 6060°. What current passes through the surface?
A detector window has area 4.04.0 cm2\(\text{cm}\)^2. A uniform current density J(t)=100tJ(t)=100t A/m2\(\text{A/m}\)^2 is normal to the surface for 0≤t≤2.00≤t≤2.0 s\(\text{s}\). Approximately how many electrons pass through the window during that time?
