Instruction: Please answer ALL questions and discuss with your tutor during the tutorial sessions. The
tutorial assessments will be marked and contribute 15% to your final mark.
1. How much charge is represented by these number of electrons?
a. 6.482×1017
b. 2.46×1019
2. Determine the current flowing through an element if the charge flow is given by:
a. 𝑞(𝑡) = (15𝑒 −3𝑡 − 2𝑒 −18𝑡 ) nC
b. 𝑞(𝑡) = 2𝑒 −3𝑡 sin(20𝜋𝑡) µC
3. Find the charge 𝑞(𝑡) flowing through a device if the current is:
a. 𝑖(𝑡) = (2𝑡 + 5) mA, 𝑞(0) = 0 C
𝜋
b. 𝑖(𝑡) = 20 cos(10𝑡 + ) µA, 𝑞(0) = 2 µC

6. The charge 𝑞 = 5 sin 4𝜋𝑡 mC entering the positive terminal of an element. The voltage across
the element (plus to minus) is 𝑣 = 3 cos 4𝜋𝑡 V.
a. Find the power delivered to the element at 𝑡 = 0.3 s
b. Calculate the energy delivered to the element between 0 and 0.6 s. Give your answer
in J.
7. The voltage 𝑣(𝑡) across a device and the current 𝑖(𝑡) through it are:
𝑣(𝑡) = 20 sin(4𝑡) V and 𝑖(𝑡) = 10(1 + 𝑒 −2𝑡 ) mA
Calculate:
a. The total charge in the device at 𝑡 = 1 s with 𝑞(0) = 0 C
b. The power consumed by the device at 𝑡 = 1 s
8. Find the power supplied/absorbed by each by each of the elements in figure below:
