Q

How does an electron gun even work?

A

In a vacuum environment

1) a small metal filament is heater up by an electric current , ti the point where electrons gain enough KE to escape the metal . This is known as THERMIONIC EMISSION
2) then if placed in a vacuum and a high pd applied between the filament snd sn snode, the filament will act ss a cathode
- so free electrons then accelerate towards the anode gaining kinetic energy, and if there is a small hole in the snode, the beam if electrons will escape creating a beam of electrons with a specific kinetic energy

Q

Again

A

1) if a metal filament is heated up by a current, eventually electrons will gain enough kinetic energy to esdcame, known as thermionic emission
2) place this metal filament in a vscuukm, and if a high accelerating Pd is applied between the filament and an anode, the filament will act a s acsthode
3) here you will see the free electrons accelerate towards the positive anode , and thus gain kinetic energy.

If the anode has a small hole in it a beam of electrons will be created, Esch with a specific kinetic energy snfnghus velocity

Q

So what is the energy transfer here then

What is assumption

A

Assuming no energy slot (hopefully not in a vacuum etc)

Energy applied electrically = transferred to ke
On a single Electrom e = =vq= ve

Ev = 1/2mv2
And if kniw mass then kniw velocity

2) assumption is that the electrons DIDNT HAVE KIMERIC ENERGY IM THE FIRST PLACE HOWEGER!

Q

Ohms law

A

When temperature is kept constant, the voltage in a circuit is proportional to its current

Current in a meraillic wire is proprtionsl to the pd across it whilst tmelertaure kept constant

Whilst temp kept constant, current in a (metwllic’ wire is proportional to the volatrh pd across both ends

Q

If you increase current what happens to voltage in a light bulb?

A

Initially as you increase current you increase voltage according to ihms law however Vater a while an increase of current increases the temperature

An jncrease in temperature increased the kinetic energy of thr metal posit be ions in the wire, which start to vibrste more

These act as an I pediment to electron flow,increasing resistance , as work is done on them when electrons collid e

So resistance?
If reade current increase viltsge and resistance increase, then increase at different rwte as temperature increases which actually increases resistance as electron flow is impeded by movin metal ions

Q

Similar to plastic wrapped around a wire

A

Similar to thst, initially increase current snd volateh increases proportionally. However as the insulation created an increase of teoeftaure, the resistance increases due to impediment of electron flow, which causes a DECREASE in current, hence why the graph levels form

Eventually the temperature is constant again every, and current limited

Q

What is conduction in terms of resistance

A

Conduction = 1/resistance , oppsite, 1/ v/I = I /V!

thus in an IV graoh the gradient is actually conduction, such that a stepper gradient means less resistance and shallower gradient means more resostance

25
I v characteristic for filament lamp
- initially current proportional to voltage, so goes through 0,0 - however at higher voltages the current begins ti decrease, resistance begins to increase which means grsdient deference - this because temp increase, means Impediment and resistance increases Therefore NON OHMIC Z SAME regardless of polarity The curves don’t fully level off and curve DOWN EITHER
26
What circuit di you want to chose to get different values for I and V experimentally?
Preferably circuit 2 which is the potentiometer, as this allows a full swing of resistance and yiu can measure fully This is because the voltage can start from 0 and go up, so full rnsge kf voltage means full range Kfz-Steuer resistance too!
27
Again why potentiometer
Offers full range of voltage
28
What else would determine the resistance - the material as this determines number density - the length - the cross sectional area And then temperature too -
29
How to derive resistance equation then
Resistance is propetinsk to length And inversely to cross sectional Thus r = P L/A Where P is resitivity and special for eagerly material Independent of shape and size, if length snd area 1 then it still has a value = ohm meters
30
Sonwhat is resitivty Is resitivty constant
Defined as the product of resitanceand cross sectional area divide by length of object No resitivty often changes WITH TEMPERATURE ! And this too changes depending on thpemofmsterial
31
How to investigate value for resitivty in a lab
Relasitvsly all you can do is change lengths of a wire and see how current and voltage barriers, do this using a potentiometer Then find out values for resistance by doing v/I at different lengths and plot a graph R/L This will be proeptionsk through origin as R is proportional to length and gradient = P/A Here find the length using meter stick, and cross sectional area using micrometer in three places Often take averages best you can MUST KEEP CURRENT CONSTAMT EACH TIME , thus you use portnistmter to adjust, this way the temperature doesn’t increase which causes resitivity to increases .
32
How does resitivity vary for materials
For insulators, HIGH rrsitivity, increases temperature shakes this worse (very resistance ) For semi conductors, medium resitivity, but when increase temperature, actually lowers (as number density electrons are released) (covalent binds break releasing electrons ( Metals have lowest resitivity and most current can go through . Again increase temperature here, then you also increase festivity because metal ions gain ke to impede
33
If ehcactetisrc graoh for a diode like LED
``` - not proprtional, initially current very low and RESISTANCE VERY HIGH until it reaches a point , where afterwards current increases rapidly and resistance tends to 0 # not proprtional at any stage, non ohmic conductor ``` + when REVERSED POLARITY, THE DIODE DOES NOT HAVE NAY CURRENT = INFITIE RESISTWNCE
34
What are diodes used for
Diodie inkhmletcurrent one way, so they fundamental for on off systems LEDs used to checked if current is live in a sustem
35
What’s going on with the hr diode, hoe does it work | REVERSE DIRECRIOJ?
If successfully connected to any part of a circuit where the current is in the right way, then the diode will always twke its share of voltage first before anyone else, so like 0,7 v Essentially it needs this for a threshold which is different for everyone’s thatswhy resistancenso high at the start, once reached threshold, it decreases IN THE reverse direction it takes ALL THE VOLTSGE IN THE DYDGEM AS IT IS INFINITLEY RESISTANT! REMEMBER
36
Diode
Right way, takes it share and then splits Wrong way, takes all the voltage !
37
Remember again fir looking at resistance wpsialky in these IV graphs what do you need to remember
Yh resistance is 1/gradient, so higher is lower but HAS TI BE FROM 0, NOT INSTANTANEOUS!
38
What does negative temperature coeffecintmean
It means that is temperature increases, the resistance decreases The negative is in relation to resistance and yiu say temp increasing
39
So how do NTC thermistors work?
A thermistor will have a semiconductor that is an NTC. Thus as temperature increases resistance decreases, which can be measured, and information processed to determine chmages in temperature etc
40
How does a resirsnceagaisnnttemoertauregraoh loom like Amd for a PTC?
1/x graph, inversely proportional curve etc Positive one will be proportional y= x
41
Where are NTC thermistors use in?
Everything, heat control, oven, iPad, pc etc Some used fir smaller temperature changes are more expensive as precise semiconductor is needed, however over a larger range of temperatures itscheaper, such as an oven Small temperature change found in something like incubator or thermosoftening for baby ear
42
IV chatacterietifnfornthermisotrs
``` - as current increase so does voltage at a steady rate and resistance too # but as current continues to increase, the temperature in the system increases too - an increase in t emf = decrease in resistance due to increase of number density - as a result, current increases resistance decreases ``` Same bith ways Non ohmic - looks like y3 graoh rising up,
43
I
Odd this time also semiconductor material , and used visible waves energy instead of infrareds, to break civslent bonds in semidcondufor and increase number density
44
IV for alder
Again similar,mat lowmlight very very high resistance, as soon as light chines then the resistance decreases adm current increases Can’t really have an IV graoh fir thid, instead the resistance eve intensity is again inversely proprtional graoh, curved line symmetrical etc
45
How can you use for sensing circuits
Essenitlalynsay you want cooling systems - place THERMISOR so that when heat increases, resistance decreases, meaning it takes a lower share of the voltage . Place this in series with a cooler and a fixed resitronin parallel, so that when it takes less voltsge , the cooler takes more Similar concept with light , when light stops shining you want more light As light shines less, resistance increase, so place this in parallel with bulbs, so that when light decreases it takes more resistance and thus kroe voktsge
46
How to do experiments for them bith How to reduce any background light for invesktgating LSR
For thermistor - use Khmer-Republik with thermistor in water bath, changin temp of water and seeigjnhoenredistsmfenberiee For LDR - light intensity is properinsk tindidtance # so move the light source back and see how resistance changes - tinminise anyaffect if background light, ensure yiu out a BLACK CARDBOARD AROUND !
47
Power gained lost equations
Prefer sly poeer gsinsed =vI And power lost = I2R or v2/R Try use these when resistance sinvikved ss that is where Vintage I lost
48
Why does p= I2R show why poerlinesalways drop current
They drop current because multiply current by 2 poeer by 4, thus yiu need They step down current and increase voltage do it’s more effeicmt Why! Higher currents lead to higher temperatures which lead to wasted of energy due to higher resistance
49
Why do we not want high currents in circuits do poeelinesstop it down
High currents lead to high resistance and wastage if energy But higher viktsged is no problem
50
kWh
Is another unit if energy, Equalizern to 1000x3600= 3.6MJ As p= wd/t, wd= pt We use bacuse electricity usage goes up so to shorten we do in kWh , where companies charge per unit a fixed rwte
51
What influenced why you licks. Device for saving energy
Need to see poeer and how logn yiu use it A hairdryer with high power is used less than one if low thst will be used for more for exapmle
52
Okay so if you increase cross are any 3 the volume say the length
Decreases by 3
53
With an NTC connected to battery what happens when turn on
Initially increase current increases temp do lowers resistance er, but once all current is used, then it goes ti max temp, and currrent is now stable until external heat id applejd
54
What is krichoffs second law
It states the sum of emf in a closed loop is = to the sum of pd A closed loop considered a single pathway that an electron can take And thus the conservation fi energy, as e = vxc Energy is conserved First law charge was consefved
55
Providing current snd voktsge laws in series vs parallel | Series
According fir 1st law current netring a junction is = to current leaving the junction Since there is only one junction, then the current is the same everyhwere 2nd law stated in a closed loop sum emf = sum pd Again , only one closed loop here, so the whole emf on battery must be used up by the components equally , on a basis of resistance Also Yh charge diesn’t split up or anything it just has one place tongo
56
Rules for circuits with more than one source of emf?
If same direction = add, if oppsite, then subtract So if 9 and 6, then 3!
57
Parallel
2st law, urgent in junction= out, thus current is plot in parallel. This is dependent on the reisstances if Esch series circuit in the parallel 2nd= emf in a closed loop = pd out Here you mow have multiple closed loops (paths that an electron can take), so emf shared between these loops This VOLTAGE NOT NECESSARILY SPLIT IN PARALLEL,
58
So with parallel, how can be thought
Either collapse the resistance of parallel and split them with the series, or think as spearates loops thst need voltage tonbe split amongst the, maugthbebesdiemr
59
What happens when you add brsnches to a parallel circuit, does current jncreases decrease
Current increases,mbevause resistance decreases with every branch (more places for current to go and be pslit, each branch hsd less resistance, adds up to be lesd)
60
Deriving resistance laws series
Kirchhofs second law emf in closed loop out, for series V= v1 +v2 etc First law current in junction = out , so current constant , can multiply everything by I IV = IV1 + IV2 Which becomes R tot = R1 + R2
61
Parallel resistance
We know from Kirsch of first tfotal current Id dumb of Esch branch I = I1 + I2 And from second law each loop has same emf so I/V = I1/V + I2/V So = conduction = 1/R 1/R = 1R1 (in each branch) Thus tinsolve need to collapse branch then each branch
62
Thing to help you incase stuck, what other quantity is conserved for the total
Power of Esch component= power of total energy source!
