Current From Charge Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Current From Charge.
I = Q / dT
- Where I is the Current From Charge (amps)
- Q is the total charge (C)
- dT is the change in time (s)
How to Calculate Current From Charge?
The following two example problems outline how to calculate the Current From Charge.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the total charge (C). In this example, the total charge (C) is measured to be 140.
- Next, determine the change in time (s). For this problem, the change in time (s) is calculated to be 23.
- Finally, calculate the Current From Charge using the formula above:
I = Q / dT
Inserting the values from above and solving the equation with the imputed values gives:
I = 140 / 23 = 6.086 (amps)
Example Problem #2:
Using the same process as example problem 1, we first define the variables outlined by the formula. In this case, the values are:
total charge (C) = 290
change in time (s) = 50
Entering these values into the formula or calculator above gives us::
I = 290 / 50 = 5.8 (amps)
