Hi all, can i know is it true that charge flow is equal to zero at steady state current? Or is the rate of charge flow equal to zero. Thanks :)

shenjie said:Then does it have any relationship to the charge flow?? it is actually an ode question. i have obtain a q(t) equation in the first part, q = charge. The question ask to obtain steady state current from q(t)
Steady state current refers to the flow of electric charge that remains constant over time. In other words, the amount of charge passing through a certain point in a circuit does not change, indicating a stable flow of electricity.
Transient current, also known as transient response, refers to the initial fluctuation of current in a circuit before it reaches a steady state. This can occur when a circuit is first turned on or when there are sudden changes in the circuit's components. Steady state current, on the other hand, is the constant flow of current once the transient response has settled.
The steady state current in a circuit is affected by several factors, including the voltage applied, the resistance of the circuit, and the type of material used for the conductors. In addition, the presence of capacitors and inductors can also impact the steady state current as they can store and release charge, altering the flow of electricity.
The unit of measurement for steady state current is amperes (A), which represents the rate of flow of electric charge. It can be measured using an ammeter, which is a device specifically designed to measure current in a circuit. The ammeter is connected in series with the circuit, allowing it to measure the current passing through a specific point.
In theory, steady state current should remain constant as long as the conditions in the circuit do not change. However, in practical applications, external factors such as temperature, humidity, and component degradation can cause slight variations in the steady state current over time. These changes are typically small and can be accounted for in circuit design.
