electric current and ohmic resistance Flashcards
diff electric current
it is the flow of electric charges between two terminals of condctor if there is electric potential diffrence between its terminals
tell me about the dirction of electric current
coventional current real electron current
diff convential current
it is the flow of electric charges from + to —
diff real electron current
it is the flow from _ to +
diff ohmic resistance
it is a type of opposition against the flow of electric charges duto to the firiction between the electron and moleculs of conductor that causes loss of electric charges in form of thermal energy
passing of electric current in conductor is associated with harmfull effect and useful effect tell me about them
- in some electric instrument which causes loses in electric energy in form of thermal energy that causes damage of wires and the devices when the temperature increases
- in some instrumrnt designed for converting the electric energy into heat energy
ohmic resistance depends on
and the rule and unit
- length of conductor R&L at constant other factor
- cross sectional area of the conductor R &1/A
- kind of material
- temperature
- R=p x L / A
- OHM ,
diff specific resistance ( resistivity )
it is the resistance of conductor of the material of length 1 m and cross sectional area 1 m2 at constant temperature or 0C
spesific resistance depends on
and rule and unit
- kind of material
- temperature
P = RxA / L
the resistivity increases if
the conductor has hig tempretre and high conctentration of free electron
diff conductivity
it is the resiprocal of the resistivity of the material
conductivity depends on
and rule and unit
- kind of material
- temperature
1 / P OR L/RxA
he conductivity of conductor increace by
and decreases by
- increasing of free electron
- increasing of emprere in conductor
some materials conduct electricity while others are considered insulators GR
- good conductor has high concentration of free electrons like metals
- while insulator has no free electron like plastic
the electrical conductivity of different materials is different
duo to the concentration of free electrons
