C - Electrical Formulae

This document provides 10 electrical circuit problems that use common electrical formulas involving charge (q), current (i), power (P), voltage (v), energy (W), capacitance (C), and inductance (L). The formulas shown are: i=dq/dt, P=dW/dt, iC=Cdv/dt, vL=Ldi/dt. The problems require using these relationships to find current, power, voltage, or the derivative of current or voltage as a function of time for various circuits involving capacitors, inductors, and resistors with defined charge, current, voltage, energy, or power variations over time.
