Current and Conductivity
Phys 133 – Chapter 30
1
Current
When there is current, the bulb glows and the compass
needle deflects.
Phys 133 – Chapter 30
2
Electron Current (i)
i = electrons/sec
n = electrons/m3
i = nAv d
vd 10-4 m/s

Question
The light switch is located approximately 2 m from the
light. How long will it take an electron to travel this
distance? (vD=10-4 m/s)
= 333 hours
Do Workbook 28.7

4
Conservation of electron current
Electrons cannot be created or destroyed
(conservation of charge)
The electron current is the same at all points in a
current-carrying wire.
The electron current into a junction is the same as the
electron current leaving a junction.
i0 = i1 + i2
Phys 133 – Chapter 30
5
How to create current
need an electric field
static
dynamic
E ¹0
(not static equilibrium)
Phys 133 – Chapter 30
6
What creates Electric Field?
Surface charges make E field - creates current
Phys 133 – Chapter 30

8
Battery
Battery: charge escalator
“Pump”, no charge created
Move charge against
electric field
Phys 133 – Chapter 30

Current (I)
(as opposed to electron current)
Current - amount of charge passing per unit time
dQ
I =
, direction of E
dt
= ie
Current Density -charge passing per unit time per unit area

J = = nevd

Collisions/energy transfer
No electric field
With electric field
Electrons move randomly
Electrons tend to move
against electric field
Phys 133 – Chapter 30
13
Conduction/resitivity
-Fields cause current (add energy)
-Collisions (take away energy)
-Current density (J) linear in electric field
-Depends on conductivity (resistivity)
J = sE =
1
r
E
-material dependent
-environment (temperature, magnetic field, …)

Problem 28.33
The electron beam inside a TV tube is 0.4 mm in
diameter with current 50 A. Electrons strike screen.
a) How many electrons strike screen each second?
b) What is the current density in the beam?
c) The electrons move at 4.0x107m/s. What electric field
is necessary to accelerate the electrons to this speed
over a distance of 5.0 mm?
d) Assume each electron gives its kinetic energy to the
screen. What power is delivered to the screen?
