1.11 Resistance, Resistivity Flashcards
Ohms law
The current through a metallic conductor is directly proportional to the applied pd, provided the temperature is constant
Resistance question
R=V/I
Joules law equations
P=I^2.R
P=V^2/R
Resistors in series
Rt=R1+R2+R3…
Resistors In parallel
1/Rt=1/R1+1/R2+1/R3…
Or when it is just two
Rt= R1xR2/R1+R2
Resistivity equation
q=RA/L
EMF equation
E=I(R+r)
Internal resistance equation
E=Ir+V
Superconductor definition
A material which loses all of its electrical resistivity to become a perfect conductor when below its critical temperature
Resistivity definition
The resistance of 1m of material of cross sectional area 1m^2
Lost volts definition
‘The energy dissipated per unit charge within a cell due to the interns, resistance’
