Q

How does an electron gun even work?

A

In a vacuum environment

1) a small metal filament is heater up by an electric current , ti the point where electrons gain enough KE to escape the metal . This is known as THERMIONIC EMISSION
2) then if placed in a vacuum and a high pd applied between the filament snd sn snode, the filament will act ss a cathode
- so free electrons then accelerate towards the anode gaining kinetic energy, and if there is a small hole in the snode, the beam if electrons will escape creating a beam of electrons with a specific kinetic energy

Q

Again

A

1) if a metal filament is heated up by a current, eventually electrons will gain enough kinetic energy to esdcame, known as thermionic emission
2) place this metal filament in a vscuukm, and if a high accelerating Pd is applied between the filament and an anode, the filament will act a s acsthode
3) here you will see the free electrons accelerate towards the positive anode , and thus gain kinetic energy.

If the anode has a small hole in it a beam of electrons will be created, Esch with a specific kinetic energy snfnghus velocity

Q

So what is the energy transfer here then

What is assumption

A

Assuming no energy slot (hopefully not in a vacuum etc)

Energy applied electrically = transferred to ke
On a single Electrom e = =vq= ve

Ev = 1/2mv2
And if kniw mass then kniw velocity

Q

Ohms law

A

When temperature is kept constant, the voltage in a circuit is proportional to its current

Current in a meraillic wire is proprtionsl to the pd across it whilst tmelertaure kept constant

Whilst temp kept constant, current in a (metwllic’ wire is proportional to the volatrh pd across both ends

Q

If you increase current what happens to voltage in a light bulb?

A

Initially as you increase current you increase voltage according to ihms law however Vater a while an increase of current increases the temperature

An jncrease in temperature increased the kinetic energy of thr metal posit be ions in the wire, which start to vibrste more

These act as an I pediment to electron flow,increasing resistance , as work is done on them when electrons collid e

So resistance?
If reade current increase viltsge and resistance increase, then increase at different rwte as temperature increases which actually increases resistance as electron flow is impeded by movin metal ions

Q

Similar to plastic wrapped around a wire

A

Similar to thst, initially increase current snd volateh increases proportionally. However as the insulation created an increase of teoeftaure, the resistance increases due to impediment of electron flow, which causes a DECREASE in current, hence why the graph levels form

Eventually the temperature is constant again every, and current limited

Q

What is conduction in terms of resistance

A

Conduction = 1/resistance , oppsite, 1/ v/I = I /V!

thus in an IV graoh the gradient is actually conduction, such that a stepper gradient means less resistance and shallower gradient means more resostance

Q

I v characteristic for filament lamp

A
  • initially current proportional to voltage, so goes through 0,0
  • however at higher voltages the current begins ti decrease, resistance begins to increase which means grsdient deference
  • this because temp increase, means Impediment and resistance increases
    Therefore NON OHMIC Z
    SAME regardless of polarity

The curves don’t fully level off and curve DOWN EITHER

26
Q

What circuit di you want to chose to get different values for I and V experimentally?

A

Preferably circuit 2 which is the potentiometer, as this allows a full swing of resistance and yiu can measure fully

This is because the voltage can start from 0 and go up, so full rnsge kf voltage means full range Kfz-Steuer resistance too!

27
Q

Again why potentiometer

A

Offers full range of voltage

28
Q
A

What else would determine the resistance

  • the material as this determines number density
  • the length
  • the cross sectional area
29
Q

How to derive resistance equation then

A

Resistance is propetinsk to length
And inversely to cross sectional

Thus r = P L/A
Where P is resitivity and special for eagerly material
Independent of shape and size, if length snd area 1 then it still has a value

= ohm meters

30
Q

Sonwhat is resitivty

Is resitivty constant

A

Defined as the product of resitanceand cross sectional area divide by length of object

No resitivty often changes WITH TEMPERATURE ! And this too changes depending on thpemofmsterial

31
Q

How to investigate value for resitivty in a lab

A

Relasitvsly all you can do is change lengths of a wire and see how current and voltage barriers, do this using a potentiometer

Then find out values for resistance by doing v/I at different lengths and plot a graph R/L
This will be proeptionsk through origin as R is proportional to length and gradient = P/A

Here find the length using meter stick, and cross sectional area using micrometer in three places

Often take averages best you can

MUST KEEP CURRENT CONSTAMT EACH TIME , thus you use portnistmter to adjust, this way the temperature doesn’t increase which causes resitivity to increases .

32
Q

How does resitivity vary for materials

A

For insulators, HIGH rrsitivity, increases temperature shakes this worse (very resistance )

For semi conductors, medium resitivity, but when increase temperature, actually lowers (as number density electrons are released) (covalent binds break releasing electrons (

Metals have lowest resitivity and most current can go through .

Again increase temperature here, then you also increase festivity because metal ions gain ke to impede

33
Q

If ehcactetisrc graoh for a diode like LED

A 
- not proprtional, initially current very low and RESISTANCE VERY HIGH until it reaches a point , where afterwards current increases rapidly and resistance tends to 0
# not proprtional at any stage, non ohmic conductor

+ when REVERSED POLARITY, THE DIODE DOES NOT HAVE NAY CURRENT = INFITIE RESISTWNCE

34
Q

What are diodes used for

A

Diodie inkhmletcurrent one way, so they fundamental for on off systems

LEDs used to checked if current is live in a sustem

35
Q

What’s going on with the hr diode, hoe does it work

REVERSE DIRECRIOJ?

A

If successfully connected to any part of a circuit where the current is in the right way, then the diode will always twke its share of voltage first before anyone else, so like 0,7 v

Essentially it needs this for a threshold which is different for everyone’s thatswhy resistancenso high at the start, once reached threshold, it decreases

IN THE reverse direction it takes ALL THE VOLTSGE IN THE DYDGEM AS IT IS INFINITLEY RESISTANT! REMEMBER

36
Q

Diode

A

Right way, takes it share and then splits

Wrong way, takes all the voltage !

37
Q

Remember again fir looking at resistance wpsialky in these IV graphs what do you need to remember

A

Yh resistance is 1/gradient, so higher is lower but

HAS TI BE FROM 0, NOT INSTANTANEOUS!

38
Q

What does negative temperature coeffecintmean

A

It means that is temperature increases, the resistance decreases

The negative is in relation to resistance and yiu say temp increasing

39
Q

So how do NTC thermistors work?

A

A thermistor will have a semiconductor that is an NTC. Thus as temperature increases resistance decreases, which can be measured, and information processed to determine chmages in temperature etc

40
Q

How does a resirsnceagaisnnttemoertauregraoh loom like

Amd for a PTC?

A

1/x graph, inversely proportional curve etc

Positive one will be proportional y= x

41
Q

Where are NTC thermistors use in?

A

Everything, heat control, oven, iPad, pc etc

Some used fir smaller temperature changes are more expensive as precise semiconductor is needed, however over a larger range of temperatures itscheaper, such as an oven

Small temperature change found in something like incubator or thermosoftening for baby ear

42
Q

IV chatacterietifnfornthermisotrs

A 
- as current increase so does voltage at a steady rate and resistance too
# but as current continues to increase, the temperature in the system increases too
- an increase in t emf = decrease in resistance due to increase of number density 
- as a result, current increases resistance decreases

Same bith ways
Non ohmic
- looks like y3 graoh rising up,

43
Q

I

A

Odd this time also semiconductor material , and used visible waves energy instead of infrareds, to break civslent bonds in semidcondufor and increase number density

44
Q

IV for alder

A

Again similar,mat lowmlight very very high resistance, as soon as light chines then the resistance decreases adm current increases

Can’t really have an IV graoh fir thid, instead the resistance eve intensity is again inversely proprtional graoh, curved line symmetrical etc

45
Q

How can you use for sensing circuits

A

Essenitlalynsay you want cooling systems
- place THERMISOR so that when heat increases, resistance decreases, meaning it takes a lower share of the voltage . Place this in series with a cooler and a fixed resitronin parallel, so that when it takes less voltsge , the cooler takes more

Similar concept with light , when light stops shining you want more light

As light shines less, resistance increase, so place this in parallel with bulbs, so that when light decreases it takes more resistance and thus kroe voktsge

46
Q

How to do experiments for them bith

How to reduce any background light for invesktgating LSR

A

For thermistor
- use Khmer-Republik with thermistor in water bath, changin temp of water and seeigjnhoenredistsmfenberiee

For LDR
- light intensity is properinsk tindidtance
# so move the light source back and see how resistance changes
- tinminise anyaffect if background light, ensure yiu out a BLACK CARDBOARD AROUND !

47
Q

Power gained lost equations

A

Prefer sly poeer gsinsed =vI

And power lost = I2R or v2/R
Try use these when resistance sinvikved ss that is where Vintage I lost

48
Q

Why does p= I2R show why poerlinesalways drop current

A

They drop current because multiply current by 2 poeer by 4, thus yiu need

They step down current and increase voltage do it’s more effeicmt

Why!
Higher currents lead to higher temperatures which lead to wasted of energy due to higher resistance

49
Q

Why do we not want high currents in circuits do poeelinesstop it down

A

High currents lead to high resistance and wastage if energy

But higher viktsged is no problem

50
Q

kWh

A

Is another unit if energy, Equalizern to 1000x3600= 3.6MJ

As p= wd/t, wd= pt

We use bacuse electricity usage goes up so to shorten we do in kWh , where companies charge per unit a fixed rwte

51
Q

What influenced why you licks. Device for saving energy

A

Need to see poeer and how logn yiu use it

A hairdryer with high power is used less than one if low thst will be used for more for exapmle

52
Q

Okay so if you increase cross are any 3 the volume say the length

A

Decreases by 3

53
Q

With an NTC connected to battery what happens when turn on

A

Initially increase current increases temp do lowers resistance er, but once all current is used, then it goes ti max temp, and currrent is now stable until external heat id applejd

54
Q

What is krichoffs second law

A

It states the sum of emf in a closed loop is = to the sum of pd

A closed loop considered a single pathway that an electron can take

And thus the conservation fi energy, as e = vxc

Energy is conserved

First law charge was consefved

55
Q

Providing current snd voktsge laws in series vs parallel

Series

A

According fir 1st law current netring a junction is = to current leaving the junction

Since there is only one junction, then the current is the same everyhwere

2nd law stated in a closed loop sum emf = sum pd

Again , only one closed loop here, so the whole emf on battery must be used up by the components equally , on a basis of resistance

Also Yh charge diesn’t split up or anything it just has one place tongo

56
Q

Rules for circuits with more than one source of emf?

A

If same direction = add, if oppsite, then subtract

So if 9 and 6, then 3!

57
Q

Parallel

A

2st law, urgent in junction= out, thus current is plot in parallel. This is dependent on the reisstances if Esch series circuit in the parallel

2nd= emf in a closed loop = pd out

Here you mow have multiple closed loops (paths that an electron can take), so emf shared between these loops

This VOLTAGE NOT NECESSARILY SPLIT IN PARALLEL,

58
Q

So with parallel, how can be thought

A

Either collapse the resistance of parallel and split them with the series, or think as spearates loops thst need voltage tonbe split amongst the, maugthbebesdiemr

59
Q

What happens when you add brsnches to a parallel circuit, does current jncreases decrease

A

Current increases,mbevause resistance decreases with every branch (more places for current to go and be pslit, each branch hsd less resistance, adds up to be lesd)

60
Q

Deriving resistance laws series

A

Kirchhofs second law emf in closed loop out, for series

V= v1 +v2 etc

First law current in junction = out , so current constant , can multiply everything by I

IV = IV1 + IV2
Which becomes
R tot = R1 + R2

61
Q

Parallel resistance

A

We know from Kirsch of first tfotal current Id dumb of Esch branch

I = I1 + I2

And from second law each loop has same emf so
I/V = I1/V + I2/V
So = conduction = 1/R
1/R = 1R1 (in each branch)

Thus tinsolve need to collapse branch then each branch

62
Q

Thing to help you incase stuck, what other quantity is conserved for the total

A

Power of Esch component= power of total energy source!
