Objectives

Define an electric current, and the ampere Describe conditions that create current in an

electric circuit Define power in electric circuits Draw circuits and recognize that they are

closed loops Define resistance and state Ohm’s Law Use equations to solve problems

Electric Circuit

o Closed path along which charged particles move

Page 4: Part 1 Current & Energy Transfer Electric Current.

Current

Flow of charged particles Unit is ampere (A) or “amp”

Rate at which charge passes a point in a circuit 1 ampere = 1 coulomb per second

Symbol is “I”

Iq

t

Electric Current

Conducting path Closed circuit

Supply of energy Potential difference (voltage)

Conventional current Flows from positive to negative Electrons actually move from

negative to positive

Page 6: Part 1 Current & Energy Transfer Electric Current.

Conductivity

Ability of a material to conduct electricity Depends on number of free charges per unit

volume Charges move under the influence of an electric

field Potential difference created between two points

Pure metals are good conductors Many electrons are not bound or are loosely bound to

a particular atom

Page 7: Part 1 Current & Energy Transfer Electric Current.

Resistivity

Reciprocal of conductivity Characteristic of a material that depends on its

electronic structure & temperature Increases with temperature Conductors

Low resistivity Insulators

High resistivity Electrons are tightly bound; few are free to move

Page 8: Part 1 Current & Energy Transfer Electric Current.

Energy Transfer

Power Rate at which

energy (work) is transferred

Units are watts (W) Joules per second

Resistance & Ohm’s Law

Electric Current

Page 15: Part 1 Current & Energy Transfer Electric Current.

Resistance

Property that determines how much current will flow between two points at a given potential difference Measured by placing a potential difference across

two points on a conductor, and measuring the current

Resistance (R) is the ratio between the voltage (V) and the current (I)

Page 16: Part 1 Current & Energy Transfer Electric Current.

Resistance

Opposition to the flow of electric current Ratio of potential difference to current flow Unit is “ohm” (Ω)

Ohm’s law Device which obeys this relationship is “ohmic” Not a general physical “law”

RV

I

Page 17: Part 1 Current & Energy Transfer Electric Current.

Resistance Unit of resistance is the ohm ()

One ohm is the resistance that will allow one ampere of current to flow when the potential difference is one volt

Ohm’s law Describes the behavior of a “pure” resistor Devices that behave this way are called, “ohmic”
