1 Lesson- LTI IUITS urrent The time rate of flow of charge through any cross-section is called current. i.e., I avg = q t I = q lim t t 0 dq dt Unit of current is ampere There are two types of current If magnitude and direction of current does not vary with time, it is said to be direct current. If current is periodic (with constant magnitude) with half cycle positive and half negative, it is said to be alternating current. urrent density urrent at any cross section is defined as i = J d S wher J is current density and d S is cross-section area. or J lim S I n S i.e., J d I d S n where n is a unit vector in the direction of flow of current. If cross-section is not perpendicular to the current, the cross-section area normal to current in accordance to given figure will be ds = ds 0 cos. J = lso, J d I d S cos 0 I ds ds 0 J where is conductivity of the material and is electric field across the ends of the conductor. Drift velocity It is defined as average velocity with which charge (free electron for conductor) flows when potential difference is applied across conductor. v d = e m Where is time constant, is electric field across conductor and m is mass of electron.

2 Drift velocity and current are related as I = nev d where n = no. of free electron per unit volume = cross section area of conductor v d = drift velocity of electrons esistivity () It is given by = m ne unit of resistivity is -m for conductor increases with temperature for semiconductor and insulator decreases with temperature Mobility of electron (µ e ) = drift velocity electric field vd, where v d = e/m, = relaxation time. onductivity Inverse of resistivity is defined as conductivity of material. lectric ircuit n electric circuit consists of active and passive elements. n active element like a cell, battery or power supply provides current and electrical energy to an electric circuit. The passive elements like resistor (), capacitor () and inductor (L) consume or store the electrical energy. resistor opposes flow of current. capacitor offers a low resistance to flow of alternating current and does not allow direct current to pass through it at steady state. nergy stored in a capacitor, U = V =. n inductor L opposes the variations of current and it does not oppose steady or direct current. The energy stored in an inductor, U = LI. Ohm s Law Ohm s law states that the ratio of potential difference V maintained across a conductor to the current flowing through the conductor is a constant which is equal to the resistance of the conductor provided the physical conditions remain unchanged. If V is the potential difference in volts and current I is in amperes, the electrical resistance is measured in ohms in the S.I. units. Q i.e., V I esistance esistance of material is given by l

3 Where l is the length and is the area of cross-section of the conducting body of resistance. The resistance of most of the conductors increases with increase in temperature whereas the resistance of few of the materials decreases with temperature. In the case of some of the conductors, the resistivity changes linearly with the increase of temperature. If 0 is the resistivity at lower temperature T 0 and is the resistivity at higher temperature T, then = 0 [ + (T T 0 )] where is called the temperature coefficient of resistivity. For semi-conductors and insulators resistance decreases with increase in tempearture. esistances in series If a number of resistances,, 3,..., n are connected in series to a battery of e.m.f., the same current will pass through all the resistances. The equivalent or effective resistance series for such resistance is equal to the sum of all resistances. series = n v = v = v n esistances in parallel 3 I v v v n I parallel combination of resistances can be made by connecting one end of all resistances to the positive terminal of the battery and the second end of all resistances is connected to the negative terminal of the battery. The potential difference across all the resistances is the same whereas the current I in the main circuit divides itself across the respective resistances,, 3,..., n as I, I, I 3,..., I n so that I = I + I + I I n The equivalent or effective resistance in parallel is given by eq lectromotive Force and Potential Difference 3 If a battery of e.m.f. volts and internal resistance r ohm is connected to an external resistance ohm, the current I flows throughout the circuit. = I + Ir n I I The potential difference across the external resistance is less than the e.m.f. of the cell. This potential difference across when the current is flowing through it is called as the closed circuit voltage. It is less than the e.m.f. of the cell when no current flows through the battery. Terminal potential difference across = I = Ir. Maximum power transfer If a cell of e.m.f. and internal resistance r is connected to a load resistance, current I r I I 3 3, r I

Grouping of ells Series ombination If n cells are connected in series, as shown in figure, then they can be replaced by a single cell of emf and resistance r, given by I r r r = n and r = r + r + + r n Parallel ombination If m cells are connected in parallel as shown in figure, then their equivalent cell of emf and internal resistance r is given by = r r r r r r m m m r r 3 and r r r r m r 3 Series and Parallel Grouping of ells Suppose there are N identical cells each of emf and internal resistance r. nd, they are grouped together to form an arrangement as shown in figure. In each branch there are n cells in series and there are m such branches in parallel. The group of cells is joined across an external resistor. Since the total number of cells N, therefore n N = mn The equivalent cell of the group has the emf 0 = n and internal resistance r 0 = m n r Thus, the total current flowing through the external resistor is I = r n nr m 0 or I = mn nr m

For maximum current through, we must have nr = m or m n r The maximum current is given by I max = n m r mn r Wheatstone s bridge If a net work of four resistances,, 3 and 4 are connected along arms,, D and D and ends and are connected across the terminals of a battery so that the galvonometer connected across and D does not show any deflection i.e. potential at point and D is equal. Such an arrangement is called a balanced Wheatstone s ridge for which G current I, flows across and I flows across D. I = I 3 or I = I 4 3 or 4 Kirchhoff s Law 3 4 I If an electrical circuit has more than one path of electrical closed circuits, it is called a network. The electric currents in different portions of such electric circuits can be found by the application of the following Kirchhoff s Laws : Kirchhoff s First Law of urrent : The algebraic sum of currents at any junction in a circuit is zero. It implies that the sum of the currents entering at any junction is equal to the sum of currents leaving that junction. t junction O, I + I + I 3 I 4 I 5 I 6 = 0. Kirchhoff s Voltage Law (KVL): round any closed circuit loop the sum of voltage changes (drops or gains) across all the circuit elements while traversing in one direction (clockwise or anticlockwise) must be zero.

Through the path of galvanometer, current from the battery of e.m.f. can be varied i.e. if point D is closer to point, less current flows through the path of galvanometer; and if point D is farther from point, then more current flows through the path of galvanometer. 4. For comparing e.m.f.s of two cells, the positive terminals of both the cells and the positive terminal of the battery (of e.m.f. ) are connected to the same end of the potentiometer wire. Now, we locate point D on the potentiometer wire so that no current flows through the path of galvanometer.

For finding internal resistance (r) of a cell : (i) We connect a cell [see figure (iii)] and locate a point D on potentiometer wire so that no current flows through the path of galvanometer, when key K is not used. (ii) Now, we take out some resistance from the resistance-box (..) and use key K also, and locate a point D on the potentiometer wire so that no current flows through the path of galvanometer. l Then, r = l, where l = length D of potentiometer wire l = length D of potentiometer wire

7 onversion of Galvanometer into ammeter and voltmeter In a galvanometer, a moving coil is placed in a uniform magnetic field. When the current to be measured is passed through the coil of a galvanometer, the coil is deflected through a certain angle depending upon the current. The current I can be measured by converting a galvanometer into an ammeter by connecting a small resistance s in parallel to the galvanometer of resistance g through which the current I g is flowing. s I g I I g g I g I G G S The potential difference V between any two points and is measured by connecting a voltmeter across these points. galvanometer is converted into a voltmeter by connecting a high resistance in series with a galvanometer of resistance g.
