Thus, the current is smaller and the resistance is greater As area increases, more electrons pass through it. Thus, the current is greater and the resistance is smaller For many materials, the resistance is proportional to the length of the resistor and inversely proportional to the crosssectional area L R A The constant of proportionality is called resistivity, ρ, and is different for different materials 6 Table 28.2 in the text gives resistivity for some materials Physics 212 and 222 Circuit Elements and Electric Power Power is defined as the change in energy per unit time TOC In the case of electric potential energy, we can write U qV P IV t t The power may be written in different forms using Ohm’s law P IV PI R 2 7 V2 P R Physics 212 and 222 Circuit Elements and Electric Power TOC +σ E 2k E Δs 8 V 2kd V Ed Physics 212 and 222 Circuit Elements and Electric Power TOC +σ d V=4πkσd Q A A A C 0 V 4kd 4kd d E -σ 9 V=0 Physics 212 and 222 Circuit Elements and Electric Power TOC •V=4πkσd0/κ •+σ •Ed •d0 •d E E0 E d •E0 •V=0 •-σ E E0 10 E0 Physics 212 and 222 Circuit Elements and Electric Power Capacitors store the electrons TOC + - - 11 + Physics 212 and 222 Circuit Elements and Electric Power TOC A capacitor is two conductors of equal but opposite charge separated by a dielectric. A dielectric is a substance made up of stationary dipoles. The capacitance of a capacitor is given by the equation. Q C V Q is magnitude of the charge of one of the conductors. V is the magnitude of the difference in potential between them. 12 The capacitance depends only on the geometry (shape and size of the capacitor, not on Q or V because they are proportional to each other.
