Engineering Energy in a Circuit: Find Power & Total Delivered Energy

[mba444]

Homework Statement

2. The voltage and current at the terminals of the circuit element in Fig. 1 are zero for t<0. For t>0 they are

V= e^(-500*t)-e^(-1500*t) V
i= 30-40e^(-500*t)+10e^(-1500*t) mA

a) Find the power at t = 1 ms.
b) How much energy is delivered to the circuit element between 0 and 1 ms?
c) Find the total energy delivered to the element.

Homework Equations

P=V*i
W=integral (P dt)

The Attempt at a Solution

i solved part a by simple substituting the time in both V and i equations then i multipled them giving me a result of 3.1 W, in the second part i used the integral where i substitued the answer i got in the previous part and set the integral to be from 0 to 1 ms but it turns to be wrong !

need your help tanx in advance

Voltage and current are variable and so is their product, the power. You must perform the multiplication and integrate it.

i did so as you said but i got a negative wrong answer

can you explain more in depth

If you show your work, somebody can help figure out where things went wrong.

Both voltage and current start with the value 0 at t=0 and them they become positive. The current rises monotonically to 40 and after some time (well after 1 ms) the voltage starts to decay to zero, but still positive.
It is not possible that their product can be negative.
