Current, Resistance, and Electromotive Force Flashcards
Lesson 7
it is the rate of flow of charge through some region of space
electrict current
what do you call to any moving charge?
charge carrier
does the charged particle passing through the surface should be always positive?
no. it can be positive, negative, or both.
true or false: When a potential difference is applied
across the conductor, an electric field is set up in the conductor which exerts an electric force on the electrons.
true
it is defined as the current per unit area
current density
it is the constant proportionality of the conductor
conductivity
this law states that for many materials, the ratio of the current density to the electric field is a constant σ that is independent of the electric field producing the current
ohm’s law
he is a german physicist that formulated the idea of resistance and its proportionalities
