ILQ 1 Currently, Physics 221 help center is open on M and F only. Would you prefer to re-schedule the help center instructors from M and F to other days of the week (T, W, and Th)? The total number of available help hours per week would not change. A: YES, open the help center on (T, W, and Th), but reduce available hours on M and F. B: NO, keep the help center opened on M and F only. 3
Electrostatics versus Electric Current Conductors have free electrons moving at ~10 6 m/s. Electrons bump into the fixed positive nuclei random paths. On average no net displacement of charge no current 4
Electric Current Electrostatic Equilibrium Steady-State + - Battery Current is defined as the rate of flow of charge through an area. ΔQ I = Δt SI unit for I is the ampere (A). 1A = 1C s Convention: Current arrow is drawn in direction in which positive charge carriers would move, even if the actual charges are negative & move in the opposite direction. 5
Electric Current Notice that flow of positive charge in one direction, Becomes more negative + + + + + + + + + + Becomes more positive CURRENT I Equivalent to negative charge in opposite direction. Becomes more negative - - - - CURRENT I Becomes more positive 6 - - - - - -
Drift Velocity In an electric field there is a drift along a preferred direction. With without E E Drift velocity = average speed of electrons DC Current: net flow through a surface 7

Electric Current one q in one q out A copper wire behaves like a full water hose. The wire is full of electrons. If the motion of charge starts at one end of the wire, then the other end reacts to this motion. This is like a full water hose Turn on the H 2 O pressure and water comes out immediately. The pressure wave travels much faster than an H 2 O molecule. 11
Resistance Resistance is a property of the object, i.e. It depends on the shape and material V =V a V b = E ΔL R = V I SI unit for resistance R : ohm (Ω) 1 Ω =1V / A Ohm s Law Ohmic materials (e.g., most metals): R is constant. Nonohmic materials: R constant 12
