In summary, the conversation was about finding the power and energy used in a given function using conversion equations. The person was having trouble finding the power due to a missing unknown factor and was seeking clarification on the question they were asking. They were advised to be more specific and provide more information in order for others to understand and answer their question.

Homework Statement



I had posted another thread a week ago where I was given a function q(t) that t was defined in millisecond, and I had to evaluate q(t) at 0 and infinity then I had to do the same thing when I found the current I(t) in Coulombs/ms, Now i have do the same further more by finding P(t)..power...and W(t) watt-second/energy used, I believe

The Attempt at a Solution



By simply converting my equation I(t) to seconds I was able to find the amount of amperes a second, however, to find power there seems to be a missing "X" factor when will help me find the Power, I would need to know at least voltage or watts to figure either one out, Seems I have one unknown here voltage which I don't know where to derive from with just Amperes, not given any electrical resistance because this function is not modelling or was given said diagram

I do believe there is a missing unknown, that is needed to solve for power in terms of watts? Can anyone confirm this?

The thread has had a lot of views. The reason no one has answered is because it it really hard to know what you are talking about just from this post.

I looked at the thread you referred back to (note: *I* had to search for it)...

...and basically you're going to have to be a lot clearer about what question you are asking here. What power are you referring to? If you want to compute the power delivered by a source that is driving this current I(t), you need to know the voltage of that source as a function of time.
