Electric Field and Circuits Read: Chapter 19 The Basics ~ = In electric circuits, conductors are in non-equilibrium states, so E 6 0 inside the conductor and free charges are moving, generating current. When in a steady state, an electric circuit experiences no changes in current and any deposits of excess charge change neither magnitude nor position. Current is the flow of charge and is conserved. In a steady state, charge cannot accumulate anywhere in a circuit — e.g in a simple loop circuit, current must be the same everywhere. A node is a junction where two or more wires join. Since current is conserved, the current entering a node is equal to the current exiting the node. 1 Electric Field and Circuits E Field and Current ~ Kinetic energy of moving electrons is converted to thermal energy through collisions with the atomic lattice. An external E is required to keep charges in motion. Current carrying wires are neutral — moving electrons (on average) experience no net electric force due to other sources of charge inside the conductor. ~ thin E ~ thick E v̄thin ~ While current is uniform in a simple loop circuit, electron drift speed v̄ and |E| need not be — both depend upon the cross-sectional area A of elements in the circuit. v̄thick Question: Explain why E and v̄ are larger in the thin wire. 2 Electric Field and Circuits E Field, Current, and Surface Charge ~ ∝ I, ~ E ~ is also uniform and parallel within Current is uniform and parallel to the wire in a steady-state simple loop.

A battery is a circuit element that maintains a constant potential difference across its terminals; this potential is equal in magnitude to the emf of the battery, which is a measure of the battery’s ability to separate charge. ~ inside a battery and what is its direction relative to E ~ in an attached circuit? Question: What is |E| 6 Electric Field and Circuits Energy: Loops iin i1 1 i2 A parallel circuit is one in which current has more than one path through which it can flow. ∆V across paths connected to the same nodes must be the same, and charge conservation requires that iin = iout at each node. 2 ∆V12 = ∆V12 This is an example of the loop rule. Consider the closed loop 1 → 2 → 1. The loop rule tells us ∆V12 − ∆V12 = 0 . so ∆V12 = ∆V12 . Typically, the connecting wires offer very little resistance when compared to other circuit elements, so Ewire Lwire ≈ 0. Exercise: Use the loop rule to determine ∆V of the battery. 7 Electric Field and Circuits Applications We have two rules for circuit analysis: • Current Node Rule: Iin = Iout , with I = |q|nAuE. P • Loop Rule: i ∆Vi = 0 about any closed loop. Exercise: How does current I change when we double the wire length in a circuit consisting only of a wire and a battery? Exercise: How does current I change if we double instead the cross-sectional area of the wire in the same simple circuit. Doubling the length of the wire is analogous to placing two wires in series, while doubling the cross-sectional area is analogous to placing the wires in parallel. 8 Electric Field and Circuits Applications: Bulbs in Series Al , Ll , El , v̄l Ar , Lr , Er , v̄r A = cross-sectional area of filament, L = filament length, E = electric field, v̄ = drift velocity.

Question: Explain why the thick-filament (round) bulb doesn’t glow. Bulb achieves maximum brightness when energy radiated = energy dissipated in filament. The rate of energy dissipation (power) is proportional to E 2 . 9
