Electrical Engineering Fundamentals I | Lecture 1 Example 2 | Purdue University

Welcome to another exciting lecture of "Electrical Engineering Fundamentals I". In this video, Professor Dimitrious Peroulis explores the concept of charge and current. Using a given equation for charge as a function of time, he demonstrates how to find the current flowing through a specific cross-section where the charge exists. By differentiating this charge, we obtain the current, expressed as I = dQ/dt. However, Professor Peroulis highlights that the direction of the current cannot be determined solely from this calculation. Understanding both the magnitude and direction of current is not just vital, it is functional.
This is one of many insightful lectures in the course, which is led by Prof. Peroulis, Senior Vice President for Partnerships and Online in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department at Purdue University.
