1) Electric current and emf
a) Potential difference and charge flow
Battery produces potential difference causing
flow of charge in conductor
3
b) Current:
I = Dq/Dt
∆ q is charge that passes the surface in time ∆ t
Units: C/s = ampere = A
4
• Drift velocity: average velocity of electrons
~ mm/s
• Signal velocity: speed of electric field
= speed of light in the material ~108 m/s

c) Electromotive force, emf
battery
E
is like
gh
gravitational analogy for a circuit
• emf = electromotive force = maximum potential
difference produced by a device
• Symbol: E
• emf is not a force, but it causes current to flow

• Symbol for a perfect seat of emf

2) Ohm’s Law
V
I
Device
• Ohm’s law: for some devices (conductors),
I is proportional to V:
I
V = IR
V
• R = Resistance = proportionality constant = V/I

Device
• Ohmic material obeys Ohm’s Law: R is constant
• R is a property of the device

3) Resistivity
11
a) Definition
• Property of material; zero for superconductors
• For cylindrical conductor:
A
• R is proportional to L
L
• R is proportional to 1/A
• R is proportional to L / A
• Define resistivity as the proportionality constant
L
R
A
12
b) values
• Conductors: ~ 10-8 Wm (Cu, Ag best)
• Semiconductors: ~ 1 - 103 Wm (Ge, Si)
• Insulators: ~ 1011 - 1016 Wm (rubber, mica)
13
c) Temperature dependence
• Resistivity is linear with temperature:
a bT0
0 b(T T 0)
/ 0 1 (T T 0)
0 (1 (T T 0))
a bT
0 resistivity at T T0
-1
coefficient of resistivity (C
)º
R R0 (1 (T T 0))
For metals, > 0 (resistance increases with temp)
For semiconductors, < 0 (resistance decreases)
14
d) Superconductors
• Below critical temp Tc, –> 0
– Current flows in loop indefinitely
– Quantum transitions not possible
Tc typically < 10 K, but can be > ~ 75 K (high Tc ceramics)
(record is 138 K)
Applications: MRI, MagLev trains

From Ohm’s law
V1 IR1 and V2 IR 2
So, V IR1 IR2 I(R1 R2 )
Or, V IR S
