Current Electricity 11.1 Electric Current Circuit – continuous conducting path between terminals of a battery (or other source of EMF) Electric Current – flow of charge (electrons) I – current (amperes) Q I Q – charge (coulomb) t T – time 11.1 Electric Current Ampere (for Andre’ Ampere) 1A 1 C s Usually called an amp Open Circuit – break in the circuit, no current flow 11.1 Electric Current Short Circuit – when the load is bypassed Current increase Ground – allows for a continuous path for charge flow 11.1 Electric Current For historical reasons, current is defined as being in the direction that positive charge flows 11.1 Electric Current 11.2 Current and Drift Speed Drift Speed – average distance that an electron moves in a given time period For an electron in a copper wire 0.0246m / s 11.2 Current and Drift Speed 11.3 Resistance and Ohm’s Law George Simon Ohm I V The actual values depend on the resistance of the conductor IR V Called Ohm’s Law R – resistance measured in Ohms (W) 11.3 Resistance and Ohm’s Law Only true for Ohmic materials Vacuum Tubes, Transistors, Diodes are nonohmic 11.3 Resistance and Ohm’s Law A graph of current vs. potential difference The metallic conductor is ohmic The diode and filament are not 11.3 Resistance and Ohm’s Law Resistor – anything that uses electric energy Resistor – device used to control current The symbol for a resistor is 11.3 Resistance and Ohm’s Law The resistance value of a resistor is indicated by the colored bands on the resistor 11.3 Resistance and Ohm’s Law Misconceptions 1. Cells (batteries) do not put out a constant current. They maintain a constant potential difference. 2. Current passes through a wire and depends on the resistance of the wire. Voltage is across the ends of the wire. 3. Current is not a vector, it is always parallel to the conductor. The direction is from + to -. 11.3 Resistance and Ohm’s Law Misconceptions 4. Current or charge do not increase or decrease. The amount of charge in one end of the wire comes out of the other end. 11.3 Resistance and Ohm’s Law 11.4 Resistivity Resistance is found to be directly proportional to its length and inversely proportional to its cross sectional area. L Rr A r is called the resistivity (Wm) Longer extension cords must be thicker to keep resistance low 11.4 Resistivity Some common resistivity values Material Silver Copper Gold Aluminum Tungsten Platinum Nichrome Resistivity Temperature Coefficient (Wm) (Co-1) 1.59x10-8 0.0061 1.68x10-8 0.0068 2.44x10-8 0.0034 2.65x10-8 0.00429 5.6x10-8 0.0045 10.6x10-8 0.00651 100x10-8 0.0009 11.4 Resistivity Best Conductor is Silver, but Copper is close and much cheaper Tungsten is used in filaments Nichrome Apparently an Anime character 11.4 Resistivity 11.5 Superconductors An element or compound that conducts electricity without resistance Become insulators above a critical temperature Uses MagLev Trains 11.5 Superconductors 11.6 Electrical Energy and Power The rate of energy flow for an electric circuit W qV q P V t t t That is more commonly written as P IV Combining with Ohm’s Law it can also be written 2 PI R 2 V P R 11.6 Electrical Energy and Power The power company charges by the kilowatthour (kWh) 1kWh (1000W )(3600s) 3,600,000 J Just a cool picture 11.6 Electrical Energy and Power Household circuits – wires will heat up as current increases In a 20A household circuit P IV (20 A)(120V ) 2400W In a 15A household circuit P IV (15 A)(120V ) 1800W Circuits are typically designed to run at 80% of the rated power output Different circuits have different gauge wires (diameter) 11.6 Electrical Energy and Power Circuit Breakers and Fuses Break the circuit 11.6 Electrical Energy and Power 11.7 Sources of EMF EMF – electromotive force – the potential difference between the terminals of a source when no current flows to an external circuit (e) 11.7 Sources of EMF A battery will have an internal resistance (r) So there is a potential drop due to the current that travels through the cell Vc Ir So the actual potential across the terminals of a cell will be V E Ir This is called the terminal voltage 11.7 Sources of EMF 11.8 Resistors in Series When resistors are place in a single pathway They are said to be in series A schematic would look like this 11.7 Sources of EMF The current in a series circuit is the same throughout the circuit IT I1 I 2 ....I n The potential across the source of EMF is equal to the sum of the potential drops across the resistors VT V1 V2 ....Vn 11.7 Sources of EMF Since potential can be defined as V IR We can rewrite the equation for potential as I T ReqRVeqT I1V R11 VIR22R2.... ....

Label the current in each separate branch with a different subscript (the direction does not matter, if the direction is wrong, the answer will have a negative value) 2. Identify the unknowns and apply V=IR 3. Apply the junction rule (at a in our case) so that each current is in at least one equation I1 I 2 I 3 0 11.10 Kirchhoff’s Rules Steps I1 I3 I2 4. Choose a loop direction (clockwise or counterclockwise) 5. Apply the loop rule (again enough equations to include all the currents) a. For a resistor apply Ohm’s law – the value is positive if it goes in the direction of the loop b. For a battery, the value is positive if the loop goes from – to + (nub to big end) 11.10 Kirchhoff’s Rules Steps I1 I3 I2 We’ll do the two inside loops E1 I1R1 I 3R4 E3 I1R2 0 E3 I 3 R4 I 2R3 E2 0 6.
