AI Thread Summary
To determine the charge Q passing between t=0 and t=4 seconds, integrate the current function i=3t over the specified time interval. The integral of 3t from 0 to 4 seconds results in Q=24 coulombs. A graph of current versus time would show a linear increase, starting from the origin and rising to 12 amperes at t=4 seconds. This visual representation helps in understanding the relationship between current and time in the circuit. The calculated charge indicates the total amount of electrical flow during this period.

The current flowing in an electrical circuit is given by i=3t amperes where t=time in seconds. Determine the charge Q in coulombs passing between t=0 and t=4 seconds.
Note; charge Q=It Coulombs, where I=current in A and t=time in s
