How Does Time Affect Current Flow?

[falcon102]

Hi,
I want to ask a qusetion about the electrons, what the time plays with the current flow? what will be happen for example with current 0.5A in the wire with 5 ohm?

thx

What do you mean? Please rephrase your question.

simple.
Heat will be produced, as
H=I*I*R*t
clear?

You get power dissipation measured in watts. Ohm's law

That equation is meant to show that the heat energy H generated by the current flow is equal to the power P multiplied by time t. Like this:

H = Power * t = I^2 * R * t

Where I is the current and R is the resistance.

But I'm not sure that's what you are trying to ask. You might also be asking how to calculate how many electrons are flowing past a point in the wire, given the current I = 0.5A. If that is your question, you can figure it out from the fact that 1 Amp of current is equal to 1 Coulomb of charge flowing past a point per second. The charge per electron is often written as "e" with the following value:

e = -1.602 * 10^{-19} Coulombs
