A few definitions:
 Circuit: A continuous path made of conducting materials
 EMF: an alternative term for “potential difference” or “voltage,”
especially when applied to something that acts as a source of
electrical power in a circuit (such as a battery)
 Current: the rate of motion of charge in a circuit:
Symbol: I (or sometimes i).
SI units: C/s = ampere (A)

Current and EMF
“Conventional current:” assumed to consist of the motion
of positive charges.
Conventional current flows from higher to lower
potential.

Current and EMF
Direct current (DC) flows in one direction around the
circuit
Alternating current (AC) “sloshes” back and forth, due to
a time-varying EMF that changes its sign periodically

Ohm’s Law and Resistance
The current that flows through an object is directly
proportional to the voltage applied across the
object:
V I
A constant of proportionality makes this an
equation:
V  IR
Ohm’s Law and Resistance
V  IR
The constant of proportionality, R, is called the
resistance of the object.
SI unit of resistance: ohm (W)
Ohm’s Law and Resistance
Resistance depends on the geometry of the object, and a
property, resistivity, of the material from which it is
made:
L
Rr
A
Resistivity symbol: r
SI units of resistivity: ohm m (W m)
L
cross-sectional area A
Ohm’s Law and Resistance
In most materials, resistivity increases with temperature,
according to the material’s temperature coefficient of
resistivity, a:
r  r 0 1  a T  T0 
R  R0 1  a T  T0 
(resistivity is r0, and R = R0, at temperature T0)
SI units of a : (C°)-1

The Loop Rule:
Around any closed loop in a circuit, the sum of the
potential drops and the potential rises are equal and
opposite; or …
Around any closed loop in a circuit, the sum of the
potential changes must equal zero.
(Energy conservation)
Kirchoff’s Rules and Circuit Analysis
The Junction Rule:
At any point in a circuit, the total of the currents flowing
into that point must be equal to the total of the currents
flowing out of that point.

Internal Resistance
An ideal battery has a constant potential difference
between its terminals, no matter what current flows
through it.
This is not true of a real battery. The voltage of a real
battery decreases as more current is drawn from it.
Internal Resistance
A real battery can be modeled as ideal one, connected in series with a
small resistor (representing the internal resistance of the battery).
The voltage drop with increased current is due to Ohm’s Law in the
internal resistance.
