How to get the first time derivative of defined variables?

I defined "rho_E" as charge density, its unit is C/m^3. when I coupled the Electric Current, the Current source(A/m^3) Qj was required. I think Qj equals the first time derivative of rho_E, but I don't know how to express it.

If you want to create a variable that is the first time derivative you can use the "d"-operator. In your case you can define:
Qj = d(rho_E,t)
This operator is described further under "The differentation operators" in the help documentation.

Thanks a lot!
