Chapter 5 Electrostatics
... • Resistance = Increasing electric resistance (Ohm’s) = LESS current flow in amps (A) • Ohm’s Law = voltage across the circuit is equal to the CURRENT X RESISTANCE (V + IR) where I= current (amps), R= resistance in ohm’s, V= POTENTIAL in volts • WATT (W) = measurement of electrical power ...

Electricity and Circuits
... Atoms sometimes gain or lose electrons to other atoms. When electrons move from atom to atom a current is produced. Electricity is the movement of electrons from one atom to another. Some atoms hold onto their electrons very tightly. Materials composed of such atoms tend not to let electricity move ...

CHAPTER 16
... An intrinsic (pure) silicon crystal at room temperature has sufficient heat energy for some valence electrons to jump the gap from the valence band into the conduction band, which become free electrons When an electron jumps to the conduction band, a vacancy is left in the valence band within the cr ...

Electromigration
Electromigration is the transport of material caused by the gradual movement of the ions in a conductor due to the momentum transfer between conducting electrons and diffusing metal atoms. The effect is important in applications where high direct current densities are used, such as in microelectronics and related structures. As the structure size in electronics such as integrated circuits (ICs) decreases, the practical significance of this effect increases.
