Transcript
The graded exams are being returned today. You will have until the next class on Thursday, Oct 6 to rework the problems (including the multiple choice questions) you got wrong and receive 50% added credit. You are honor bound to work on these alone; this is an exam. I will be going over the answers in class next Tuesday. This will also be your only opportunity to ask for corrections/clarifications on any grading mistakes. Capacitor Applications In 1995, the microprocessor unit on the microwave imager on the DMSP F13 spacecraft locked up - occurred ~5 s after spacecraft began to charge up in the auroral zone in an auroral arc. Attributed to high-level charging of spacecraft surface and subsequent discharge. Spacecraft surfaces are generally covered with thermal blankets - outer layer some dielectric material - typically Kapton or Teflon. Deposition of charge on surface of spacecraft known as surface charging. Incident electrons below about 100 keV penetrate the material to a depth of a few microns, where they form a space charge layer - builds up until breakdown occurs accompanied by material vaporization and ionization. A discharge is initiated - propagates across surface or through the material, removing part of bound charge. Typically occur in holes, seams, cracks, or edges - have been know to seriously damage spacecraft components. Thermal blankets composed of layers of dieletric material with vapor deposited aluminum (VDA) between each layer. On DMSP, VDA between layers (22) not grounded - serve as plates of a set of 22 parallelplate capacitors - top plate consists of electrons buried in top few microns of Teflon. 1 22 1 C i1 c i C/A=7.310-9 F/m2 of a parallel plate capacitor to some voltage with Time to charge outer surface respect to spacecraft frame is: t CV i(1 )A Laboratory measurements for Teflon: -discharge at 3 kV in a 20 keV electron beam -secondary electron yield () at 20 keV ~ 0.2 Given measured incident precipitating current density of i = 4.8 A/m2, the time to reach breakdown voltage for conditions experienced by DMSP F13 is 5.7 s this is the time after the spacecraft began to charge up that the lockup occurred. If the VDA layer on the bottom side of the outer Teflon layer were grounded to the spacecraft frame, the capacitance would have been 3.510-7 F/m2 and the charging time would have been 132 s - no discharge would have occurred. Electric Current Charges in Motion – Electric Current Electric Current – a method to deliver energy Very convenient way to transport energy no moving parts (only microscopic charges) Electric currents is in the midst of electronic circuits and living organisms alike Motion of charges in electric fields Force on a particle : F qE Accelerati on : a F / m d 2r Equation of motion : m 2 qE(r, t ) dt When E is time - independen t, the total energy is conserved : mv2 q (r ) const 2 Motion in a uniform electric field For x - components : a qE / m v(t ) v0 at at 2 x(t ) x0 v0t 2 Other components of v do not change Deflection by a uniform electric field x vi t qE 2 y t 2m y x 2 : Parabolic trajector y v fx vi qE l v fy m vi Application: Cathode Ray Tube Electric Current in Conductors In electrostatic situations – no E-field inside There is no net current. But charges (electrons) still move chaotically, they are not on rest. On the other side, electrons do not move with constant acceleration. Electrons undergo collisions with ions. After each collision, the speed of electron changes randomly. The net effect of E-field – there is slow net motion, superimposed on the random motion Vchaotic ~ 106 m / s Vdrift ~ 104 m / s Direction of the Electric Current is associated with the rate of flow of charge ΔQ dQ Δt dt 1 Coulomb Unit : 1 Ampere 1 second Current density is the current per unit area : through surface A : I I J A Current in a flash light ~ 0.5 A In a household A/C unit ~ 10-20 A TV, radio circuits ~ 1mA Computer boards ~ 1nA to 1pA Current, Drift Velocity, Current Density Q qnAvd t J I Q qn v d [ A / m 2 ] A At Concentration of mobile charge carriers per unit volume: n Average speed in the direction of current (drift speed): vd For a variety of charge carriers: J | qi | ni v d i Current density J, is a vector while total current I is not I J d S Example: An 18-gauge copper wire has nominal diameter of 1.02 mm and carries a constant current of 1.67 A to 200W lamp.

E-field acts on all electrons at once (E-field propagates at ~2 108 m/s in copper) Electric current in solution of NaCl is due to both positive Na+ and negative Cl- charges flow Ohm’s Law Current density J and electric field E are established inside a conductor when a potential difference is applied – Not electrostatics – field exists inside and charges move! In many materials (especially metals) over a range of conditions: J = σE or J = E/r with E-independent conductivity σ=1/r This is Ohm’s law (empirical and restricted) Conductors, Insulators and Semiconductors Resistance of a straight wire V I J A E A A L 1 I V (V Vb Va b a ) R L Resistance R A 1 Volt Unit: 1 Ohm () 1 Ampere 1 Resistivity r Unit: V=IR 1 m L Rr A Water Flow Analogy Interpreting Resistance I-V curves ohmic nonohmic (linear) (non-linear) Resistivity and Temperature r(T) = r0[1+a(T-T0)] Electrical Shock “It’s not the voltage but the current.” The current is what actually causes a shock - human body has resistance of ~500,000 with dry skin - ~100 wet!
