and Length and is proportional to the energy lost in a conductor. The longer a wire, the greater the resistance of the wire.
and Drift Speed Earlier we found: I = nev d A Hence: v d = I/(neA) If the cross sectional area is big, the electrons go more slowly. If the electrons go more slowly, they lose less energy in collisions. If the electrons lose less energy, the resistance is smaller. and
In summary: R = ρ L A and ρ is the resistivity of the material
and and
Variation of For most metals, resistance increases with increasing temperature With a higher temperature, the metal s atoms vibrate with increasing amplitude The electrons lose more energy in collisions to the faster-moving atoms and
Variation of and Approximately linear: R = A + BT where A and B are constants.
Variation of We usually rewrite the constants in a more convenient form: R = R 0 [1 + α(t T 0 )] R is the resistance at temperature T R 0 is the resistance at the reference temperature T 0 (often T 0 = 20 C) α is the temperature coefficient of resistivity and
Variation of and Since R = ρl/a : ρ = ρ 0 [1 + α(t T 0 )]

Electrical A battery converts chemical potential energy to electrical energy Pushing charges on the wire increases potential energy, much like compressing a spring. As charge moves through a resistor, it loses this potential energy during collisions with atoms in the resistor and
A Simple Circuit and A battery is connected to a resistor in series.
A Simple Circuit The ground sets the voltage on the lower wire to zero. No current flows to or from ground, or a large charge would build up in the circuit. and
A Simple Circuit and The voltage everywhere on the lower wire is zero. The upper wire is at the battery s voltage.
Energy Transfer in the Circuit and Imagine a quantity of positive charge, Q, moving around the circuit from point A back to point A
Energy Transfer in the Circuit Point A is V = 0. The battery raises the voltage of the charge to V battery. This adds energy V Q to the charge. and
Energy Transfer in the Circuit Points B and C are at V = V battery. Collisions of charges with atoms in the resistor reduce the energy of the charges. The voltage at D is V = 0. and
Energy Transfer in the Circuit and As charge Q flows through the resistor, the resistor s thermal energy increases by V Q.
Electrical The rate at which the energy is lost is the power P = V Q t = IV From Ohm s Law, alternate forms of power are P = V 2 R = I2 R and
Electrical and The SI unit of power is Watt (W) Energy = P t The unit of energy used by electric companies is the kilowatt-hour 1 kwh = 3.60 10 6 J = 3.60 MJ

Sources of emf and The voltage source in a circuit is called the emf (electromotive force) Batteries and generators are typical emfs
Simple Resistive Circuits and We ll first study simple circuits that contain only emfs and resistors
Resistors in Series and The current is the same in all resistors in series because any charge that flows through one resistor flows through the others. The sum of the voltages across the resistors is equal to the total voltage across the combination.
Resistors in Series and Or more simply... Current is equal Voltage adds
Equivalent Series V eq = V 1 + V 2 Since V = IR for each resistor and
Equivalent Series V eq = V 1 + V 2 Since V = IR for each resistor and IR eq = IR 1 + IR 2
Equivalent Series and R eq = R 1 + R 2 + R 3 + The equivalent resistance of a series combination of resistors is the sum of the individual resistances It is always greater than any of the individual resistors
Equivalent Series: An Example and You need to replace these four resistors with one equivalent resistor. What value must it have?

emf and and A real battery has some internal resistance A 12 V battery has an emf of 12 V when no current flows
emf and and When current flows, the terminal voltage of the battery is less than 12 V.
The internal resistance is like a resistor rconnected in series with a "perfect" emf The terminal voltage is V = V b V a V =ɛ Ir and
and emf The emf ɛ is equal to the terminal voltage when the current is zero R is called the load resistance The current depends on both the load resistance and the internal resistance The internal resistance is usually small enough we can ignore it and

Gustav Kirchhoff and 1824-1887 Invented spectroscopy with Robert Bunsen Formulated rules about radiation
Why Do We Need? and Sometimes series-parallel reduction does not work can be always be used to solve circuit lead to several equations in several unknowns, so they can be hard to solve.
Junction Rule The sum of the currents entering any junction must equal the sum of the currents leaving that junction and
Junction Rule The sum of the currents entering any junction must equal the sum of the currents leaving that junction Loop Rule The sum of the potential differences across all the elements around any closed circuit loop must be zero and
The Junction Rule and I in = I out This comes from conservation of charge This is similar to water flow in pipes
The Loop Rule and The total change in voltage from point c back to point c in the circuit is zero.
The Loop Rule and Let s start with the voltage at c.
The Loop Rule As charge passes through the battery, the voltage increases. and
The Loop Rule The voltage drops when charge passes through the first resistor. and
The Loop Rule And it drops again when it passes through the second resistor. and
The Loop Rule So the voltage returns to where we started when we return to point c. and
