D.C./ COE Flashcards
1
Q
Potential Difference
A
Potential Difference between 2 points is the energy trans
2
Q
Electromotive Force
A
Energy transferred per unit charge from some form into electrical energy when charge is moved around the circuit
3
Q
Resistance varies with temperature
A
As temperature rises, more charge carriers are released in the conductor, increasing the NUMBER DENSITY of charge carriers
Lattice ions vibrate with larger amplitude and this reduce the average drift speed of charge carriers
The effect of increase in number density pf charge carriers outweighs the effect of reduced drift speed.
4
Q
Current
A
Rate of flow of charges
