AP 1.2 To solve this problem we use a product of ratios to change units from
dollars/year to dollars/millisecond. Webegin by expressing $10 billion in
scientific notation:
$100 billion =$100⇥109.
Now we determine the number of milliseconds in one year, again using a
product of ratios:

Now we can convert from dollars/year to dollars/millisecond, again with a
product of ratios:

AP 1.3 Remember from Eq. 1.2, current is the time rate of change of charge, or i = dqd
In this problem, we are given the current and asked to find the total charge. t
To do this, we must integrate Eq. 1.2 to find an expression for charge in terms
of current:
Z

q(t) = i(x) dx.
0
We are given the expression for current, i, which can be substituted into the
above expression. To find the total charge, we let t ! 1 in the integral. Thus
we have

AP 1.4 Recall from Eq. 1.2 that current is the time rate of change of charge, or
i = dt . In this problem we are given an expression for the charge, and asked to
dq

using Eq. 1.2:

Now that we have an expression for the current, we can find the maximum
value of the current by setting the first derivative of the current to zero and
solving for t:
di d
= (te−αt) = e−αt + t( α)eαt = (1 αt)e−αt = 0.
dt dt
Since e−αt never equals 0 for a finite value of t, the expression equals 0 only
when (1 αt) = 0. Thus, t = 1/α will cause the current to be maximum. For
this value of t, the current is
