Current electricity Flashcards
electric field is in the direction of
1) opposite to electron flow
2) in the direction of current
Ohm’s law
1)Ohm’s Law states that, “current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across two points.
2) V=IR
3)applicable only to ohmic conductor
temperature dependence of resistivity
ρT = ρ0 [1 + a(T–T0)]
Electrical Energy:
It is the amount of work done or energy consumed in a given amount of time
E = I^2Rt
electromotive force
it is a work done by a source in taking a unit charge once around the complete circuit
potential diiference
it is the workdone in moving a charge from one poinr to another point in a circuit
terminal voltage
V = emf − Ir
r–>internal resistance
current in circuit which has a battery of internal resistance ‘r’
I=emf/R+r
If n, e, t, and m have their usual meanings, then the resistance of a wire of length l and cross-sectional area A is given by
r=ml /ne²tA
t–>relaxation time
current density
j=neVd
where
j=I/A
n –> number of free electrons
e –> charge of electron
Vd –> drift velocity
