Current is 5 amperes. voltage is 10 volts

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on calculating charge and time based on given electrical parameters: a current of 5 amperes and a voltage of 10 volts. The first calculation suggests that the charge for 30 joules of energy is 3 coulombs, derived from the formula Q = E/V. The second calculation indicates that the time required to supply 30 joules is 0.60 seconds, calculated using the formula t = Q/I. Participants express confusion about the context of the problem, questioning whether it is a homework question or lacks sufficient information for a complete solution. Clarification on the definitions of current, voltage, and energy is requested for better understanding.

current is 5 amperes. voltage is 10 volts.
1. what would be the charge if there is energy of 30 J?
2. what would be the time taken to supply the use of 30J?

For 1, is it 30J/ 10V = 3 coulombs
For 2, is it 3C/ 5 amperes = 0.60 seconds

Anyone can help?

While on one hadn this sounds like a homework problem (e.g. specifics stated), which we won't solve for you - only help - there is the other hand in which it doesn't sound like a homework problem (not enough info to solve the problem).

What are these things you're talking about?? Current is the rate at which charge flows. Voltage can be one of two things - it can be the difference in electric potential or it can be a measure of the emf in a circuit.

Energy is something different all together.

Please explain this question in more detail - perhaps by explaining what these charges and current and energy refers to.

Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'
So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
