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
copper has high conductivity
because it has high concentration of free electrons
the resistance of wire and its resistivity increase as the temperature increases GR
because increasing the temperature will increase the average kinetic energy of molecules of the conductor so its firiction with charges increases
the specific resistance and conductivity are carctrized in matter GR
bec they depends on kind of material and temperature only
the temperature of a wire increases when the electric current pass through it GR
duto the friction force between the moulcules of the conductor and the electron ( ohmic reistance ) that causes loses in electric energy in form of thermal energy
It is advisple to use thick wire of copper when a strong current passes GR
bec it has low ohmic resistance and copper has high conductivity and low resistivity also thick wire has low resistance [R=PxL\A ⇒R&1\A] that will minmize loses in electric energy inform of thermal energy to prevent melting of wire
conductivity of mercury = 106
106 is the recprocal of the resistivity of the material of mercury
what is the rule of ratio in the ohmic resisance relathion
R1 / R2 = P1 / P2 x L1 / L2 x A2 / A1
what meant by specific resistance of cupper = 1.77
the resistance = 1.77 when lingth = 1m and cross sectional area = 1 m2 at given temperture
what is dosnot change in the wire when it reformed
and if the length doubled and why
- resistvity and conducitvty
- if length is doubled that mean cross section area halved
- because vol is constant ( Vol = A x L )
