hello all,
i think my question has closer ties to mathematics that's why I am posting here.
how do i interpret this [tex]\Delta[/tex]V= q/C ?
"Physics for Scientists and Engineers" (Serway, 6th ed, pg 807).
i've encountered it a few times in physical chemistry and I believe it has to do with differentiation. the example given is the potential difference across a capacitor and q is the charge on the capacitor at some instant during the charging process.
my confusion specifically is that the symbol for charge is divided by the unit of charge.
if someone could explain this or give me a search term so I could find why this is so it will be greatly appreciated.
thanks...
