1 Electricity & Magnetism Lecture 9: Electric Current Today s Concept: Electric Current Electricity & Magne8sm Lecture 9, Slide 1

2 Battery and Bulb Which current flow model is correct? Figure 22-5: Four alternative models for current flow Model A There will be no electric current left to flow in the wire attached to the base of the battery Model B The electric current will travel in a direction toward the bulb in both wires Model C The direction of the current will be in the direction shown, but there will be less current in the return wire Model D The direction of the current will be as shown, and it will be the same in both wires

3 Activity A A - A When Figure the 22-9: switch Two bulbs is connected closed, in series and with a voltmeter bulbs and are an iden8cal A)Top bulb is brighter B)BoHom bulb is brighter C)Both are equally bright

4 Activity When the switch is closed A) bahery = bulb B) bahery < bulb C) bahery > bulb

5 + + A A How dow the currents measured compare? A)I leo < I right B)I leo = I right C)I leo > I right

6 + + A A How dow the oltages measured compare? A) leo < right B) leo = right C) leo > right

7 Your stuff so which way does DC current flow? - _- How many different things will sigma symbolize??? Since R = ρl/a, the greater the cross sec8onal area, the smaller the resistance, but the greater the length the higher the resistance. Is that why long cables have to be very thick? What if I put ammeter right between + and -? the part rela8ng to the ohm's law and current density stuff makes no sense to me.

9 A Note on Units Force is newtons: N = kg m/s 2 Electric Field: newton/coulomb (N/C = /m ) Electric poten;al: newton- meter/coulomb = volt! kg m2 /s 2 C = Capacitance: farad = coulomb/volt! farad is big, we usually use µf = 10 6 F pf = F (µµf in olden days, puffs now) (nf = 10 9 not customary in N. America)

10 Key Concepts: 1) How resistance depends on A, L, σ, ρ 2) How to combine resistors in series and parallel 3) Understanding resistors in circuits σ is conductivity here (not surface charge density) ρ is resistivity here (not volume charge density). Today s Plan: 1) Review of resistance & preflights 2) Work out a circuit problem in detail Electricity & Magne8sm Lecture 9, Slide 4

11 I s A L Observables: = EL I = JA Ohm s Law: J = σ E Conduc8vity high for good conductors. I/A = σ /L I = /(L/σ A) R = Resistance ρ = 1/σ I = /R R = L σa Electricity & Magne8sm Lecture 9, Slide 5

12 This is just like Plumbing! I is like flow rate of water is like pressure R is how hard it is for water to flow in a pipe R = L σa To make R big, make L long or A small To make R small, make L short or A big Electricity & Magne8sm Lecture 9, Slide 6

13 1 CheckPoint: Two Resistors 2 Same current through both resistors Compare voltages across resistors A B C A B C Electricity & Magne8sm Lecture 9, Slide 7

14 CheckPoint: Current Density The SAME amount of current I passes through three different resistors. R 2 has twice the cross- sec8onal area and the same length as, and R 3 is three 8mes as long as but has the same cross- sec8onal area as. In which case is the CURRENT DENSITY through the resistor the smallest? σ 2σ σ Same Current Electricity & Magne8sm Lecture 9, Slide 8
