4 Current and Current Density the current I is the flux of the current density J I = I = J s = J s di = J ds ( s) n I = d s, A J S Two cylindrical wires are connected in series. Current I = 10 A flows through the junction. The radii of the wires are: r 1 = 1 mm, r 2 = 2 mm. Find the current densities J 1 and J 2 in the two wires. LECTURE 14 slide 4

5 Charge Mobility charge velocity in a conductor depends on the charge mobility v = µ E, v = µ E, v = µ E, m/s e e h h i i metals support electron current drift electron velocity in metals: v d = μ e E semiconductors support both electron and hole currents most electrolytes support both electron and ion currents in general plasmas support both electron and ion currents mobility may in general depend on E (nonlinear conductors) LECTURE 14 slide 5

19 Charge Relaxation in Plain Words consider an isolated conductor into which some charge Q 0 is injected initially Coulomb forces push the charge carriers apart until they redistribute and settle on the surface the process continues until no free charge is left inside the conductor at which stage the field inside is zero E = 0 the time for this to happen is about 3τ where τ = ε / σ this is also the time required to discharge a charged capacitor through a shorting conductor (resistor) LECTURE 14 slide 19

21 Power Density and Joule s Law in Differential Form consider sufficiently small volume Δv = Δs ΔL where the E-field and the charge density ρ v are constant since charge is moving with uniform drift velocity u d, the E-field does work on the charge (this work is converted into heat) We = Q E L= we v, J F power is work done per unit time We we v QE L P= = p v= = = QEu t t t power density P QEu d p = = = ρveu d = EJ, W/m 3 v v, W Joule s law in differential form: dissipated power per unit volume p = EJ = σ( EE ) = σ E, W/m 2 3 LECTURE 14 slide 21 d

24 You have learned: what current density is and how it relates to the total current that drift velocity of charge in conductors is proportional to the strength of E and the coefficient of proportionality is the mobility what specific conductivity is and how it relates J to E through Ohm s law in differential (point) form how to compute the resistance/conductance of conducting bodies that charge is preserved and the rate of change of the charge density determines the divergence of the current density ρv J = t what charge relaxation is and how it depends on the permittivity and conductivity of the material how to find the dissipated power from the E field using Joule s law LECTURE 14 slide 24
