Resistance is NOT Futile!
Electrons are not “completely free to move” in a conductor. They move
erratically, colliding with the nuclei all the time: this is what we call
“resistance”.
The resistance is related to the potential we need to apply to a device to
drive a given current through it. The larger the resistance, the larger the
potential we need to drive the same current.

Resistivity and resistance

These two devices could have the same resistance
R, when measured on the outgoing metal leads.
However, it is obvious that inside of them different
things go on.

Resistivity and Temperature
Resistivity depends on
temperature:
 = 0(1+a(T-T0) )
• At what temperature would the resistance of a
copper conductor be double its resistance at
20.0°C?
• Does this same "doubling temperature" hold for
all copper conductors, regardless of shape or
size?

Power in electrical circuits
A battery “pumps” charges through the
resistor (or any device), by producing a
potential difference V between points a and
b. How much work does the battery do to
move a small amount of charge dq from b
to a?
a
dW = –dU = -dq•V = (dq/dt)•dt•V= iV•dt
The battery “power” is the work it does per unit time:
P = dW/dt = iV
P=iV is true for the battery pumping charges through any device. If the
device follows Ohm’s law (i.e., it is a resistor), then V=iR and
P = iV = i2R = V2/R

Example
A human being can be electrocuted if a
current as small as i=100 mA passes near
the heart. An electrician working with
sweaty hands makes good contact with
the two conductors he is holding. If his
resistance is R=1500, what might the
fatal voltage be?
(Ans: 150 V) Use: V=iR
Example
Two conductors are made of the same material and have the
same length. Conductor A is a solid wire of diameter r=1.0mm.
Conductor B is a hollow tube of outside diameter 2r=2.0mm and
inside diameter r=1.0mm. What is the resistance ratio RA/RB,
measured between their ends?

Example
A P=1250Watt radiant heater is constructed to operate at
V=115Volts.
(a) What will be the current in the heater?
(b) What is the resistance of the heating coil?
(c) How much thermal energy is produced in 1.0 hr by the
heater?
• Formulas: P=i2R=V2/R; V=iR
• Know P, V; need R to calculate current!
• P=1250W; V=115V => R=V2/P=(115V)2/1250W=10.6 
• i=V/R= 115V/10.6 =10.8 A
• Energy? P=dU/dt => U=P•t = 1250W 3600 sec= 4.5 MJ
= 1.250kW•hr
Example
A 100 W lightbulb is plugged into a standard 120 V outlet.
(a) What is the resistance of the bulb?
(b) What is the current in the bulb?
(c) How much does it cost per month to leave the light turned on
continuously? Assume electric energy costs 6¢/kW·h.
(d) Is the resistance different when the bulb is turned off?
• Resistance: same as before, R=V2/P=144 
• Current, same as before, i=V/R=0.83 A
• We pay for energy used (kW h):
U=Pt=0.1kW  (30 24) h = 72 kW h => $4.32
• (d): Resistance should be the same, but it’s not: resistivity and
resistance increase with temperature. When the bulb is turned off,
it is colder than when it is turned on, so the resistance is lower.
Example
An electrical cable consists of 105 strands of fine wire, each
having 2.35  resistance. The same potential difference is
applied between the ends of all the strands and results in a
total current of 0.720 A.
(a) What is the current in each strand?
i=I/105=0.720A/105=[0.00686] A
(b) What is the applied potential difference?
V=iR=[0.016121] V
(c) What is the resistance of the cable?
R=V/I=[.0224 ] 

My House Has Two Front Porch Lights.
Each Light Has a 100W Bulb.
The Lights Come on at Dusk and Go Off at Dawn.
How Much Does this Cost Me Per Year?
Two 100W Bulbs @ 12 Hours Each = One 100W @ 24 Hours.
P = 100W = 0.1kW
T = 365 Days x 24 Hours/Day = 8670 Hours
Demco Rate: D = 0.1797$/kW•Hour (From My Bill!)
Cost = PxTxD = (0.1kW)x(8670 Hours)x(0.1797$/kW•Hour)
= $157.42 = 13 shots of Goldschläger!
