Examples from Week 3

The following examples refer to Bradley's Calculus.

Exponential functions are essential because many graphs are exponential in nature.

Examples:

The logarithmic function is the inverse of the exponential function.

Examples:

The derivatives of exponential and logarithmic functions can be very useful

Examples:

Integration involving ln x can be useful when considering the motion of a particle.

Examples:

The following examples refer to Young and Freedman's University Physics.

Calculating capacitance and other related quantities involves the manipulation of equations.

Examples:

The total work needed to increase a charge q from zero to a final value Q is equal to the potential energy U of the charged capacitor. Work can be calculated as an integral.

Examples:

When dealing with the change in resistance, one must use differentials. The following os also an excellent example of an integral involving ln(x).

Examples:

The potential across a circuit can be displayed on a graph (pg. 814 Figure 26-16)

Examples:

Electrical power can be expressed in terms of many different variables.
