Electricity Part 2: Electric Current Electric current is the amount of charge moving past a point Definition of current I = current Q = amount of charge that passes point. t = time for charge to pass by. Q I t Units of Current Q Coulomb I t sec 1 Ampere (Amp) = 1 Coulomb/second Electric currents only flow in wires. 1. True 2. False 50% 1 50% 2 Examples of Currents Solar wind interacting with the earths magnetic field 1) Coronal Mass Ejection 2) Aurora from space 3) Aurora from ground CME animation Aurora from space Aurora effects Examples of Currents Lightning https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Pg6JQgjKnI 3 electron beams in a color TV Tokamak Fusion Experiments JET discharge We usually think of currents in wires Opening switch Simple circuit When a charged particle passes through the battery, it gains energy. When the particle passes through the light bulb it gives up the energy as heat. Battery doesn’t supply charges Ohm’s Law V=IR V= Voltage of the Battery. I=current in circuit. R=Resistance in the bulb/resistor. (Depends on materials and geometry.) Units of Resistance R=V/I (volts/amps) By definition, 1Ohm = 1 volt/amp, or 1=1V/A. Log Ride Analogy Water circuit analogy Example problem How many amps of current would flow in a light bulb that has a resistance of 60 if it is connected to a 12 V battery. I V/R 12V I 0.2 A 60 Power in a circuit When Charge Q passes through the battery it gains an amount of energy E=(Q)V (This is the amount of work the battery does on the charge.) If the charge takes an amount of time t to pass through the battery, the battery supplies a power of (does work at a rate of) E Q P V t t But Q I t Thus P IV The power supplied by the battery must be dissipated in the resistor. We also know the V=IR. Power dissipated in resistor P IV I ( IR) P I R 2 Which type of light bulb has a larger resistance, a 100W bulb or a 60W bulb? 25% 25% 25% 2 3 25% 1. The 100 W bulb 2.
