Pulse Height Of Pulse Amplifier

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around solving a homework problem related to pulse amplifiers. For part A, the user is considering using the formula Q=CV, where C is capacitance and Q is charge, suggesting a connection to the elementary charge. In part B, the user is uncertain about how to proceed after calculating the current as 0.05 A and seeks clarification on converting this value to the required result. The conversion involves understanding that an ampere is defined as one coulomb per second, leading to the conclusion that the charge can be calculated by multiplying the current by the time interval of 1 microsecond. Overall, the user is seeking confirmation on their approach and calculations for both parts of the problem.

Homework Statement



I have attached the question as a photo. It contains two parts.

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



For part A, is it simply Q=CV where C is given and Q is the elementary charge times 10^6?


For B, I am not quite sure where to begin.

Any advice on both parts is appreciated. Thank you very much, in advance.

Use Ohm's law to find the current, I.

I = ΔQ / Δt.

Find how much charge passes any point in the circuit in 1 microsecond.
 
Thanks for responding. Is my thinking for part A correct?

And for part B, I get a value of .05 A but how do I convert that to the needed result? Is .05 A in terms of seconds, and I have to divide by 10^-6?
 
What is the definition of an ampere?
 
Coulomb per second I believe. So would it just be that number over 10^-6?

Coulombs per second times 10‒6 seconds gives Coulombs.
 
Ahh ok that's what I meant. Thanks. Are the rest of my thoughts correct?
