This document contains examples of calculating current, power, voltage, and missing quantities in electric circuits. It includes: 1) Calculating current from the charge and time in a circuit. 2) Calculating power supplied or absorbed for different voltage and current combinations. 3) Determining missing voltages or powers in multi-element circuits using conservation of power. 4) Finding an unknown voltage value that satisfies the conservation of power principle.
