Notes: Pulse Legnth

Measuring the legnth or time of the pulse can be found starting with only 2 values voltage, and resistence.

Next we find the initial current using the voltage and resistence in this formula

I = V/R I=Inital Current

Exmple: V=4000 R=1Ohm 4000/1=4000

And finally we want to find time, to do so use the following formula.

t = C * V / I

T=Time C=Capacitancec of capacitor/s V=Voltage I=Initial Current

Example:"Remember 1mfd = 1/1,000,000 of a Joule" 73mfd would look like this in deeimal form .000073

73mfdx(4000/4000)= .000073 Microseconds

millisecond = 1/1000 of a second

microsecond = 1/1000000 of a second

nanosecond = 1/1000000000 of a second

deci- d 10-1 = 0.1

centi- c 10-2 = 0.01

milli- m 10-3 = 0.001

micro- 10-6 = 0.000,001

nano- n 10-9 = 0.000,000,001

pico- p 10-12 = 0.000,000,000,001

femto- f 10-15 = 0.000,000,000,000,001
