Current electricity Flashcards
(10 cards)
electric field is in the direction of
1) opposite to electron flow
2) in the direction of current
Ohm’s law
1)Ohm’s Law states that, “current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across two points.
2) V=IR
3)applicable only to ohmic conductor
temperature dependence of resistivity
ρT = ρ0 [1 + a(T–T0)]
Electrical Energy:
It is the amount of work done or energy consumed in a given amount of time
E = I^2Rt
electromotive force
it is a work done by a source in taking a unit charge once around the complete circuit
potential diiference
it is the workdone in moving a charge from one poinr to another point in a circuit
terminal voltage
V = emf − Ir
r–>internal resistance
current in circuit which has a battery of internal resistance ‘r’
I=emf/R+r
If n, e, t, and m have their usual meanings, then the resistance of a wire of length l and cross-sectional area A is given by
r=ml /ne²tA
t–>relaxation time
current density
j=neVd
where
j=I/A
n –> number of free electrons
e –> charge of electron
Vd –> drift velocity
