Chapter 18 Electric Currents

Units of Chapter 18 The Electric Battery Electric Current Ohm’s Law: Resistance and Resistors Resistivity Electric Power

18.1 The Electric Battery Volta discovered that electricity could be created if dissimilar metals were connected by a conductive solution called an electrolyte. This is a simple electric cell.

18.1 The Electric Battery A battery transforms chemical energy into electrical energy. Chemical reactions within the cell create a potential difference between the terminals by slowly dissolving them. This potential difference can be maintained even if a current is kept flowing, until one or the other terminal is completely dissolved.

18.1 The Electric Battery Several cells connected together make a battery, although now we refer to a single cell as a battery as well.

18.2 Electric Current – Current is the flow of electric charge A complete circuit is a continuous conducting path connected between the terminals of a battery. (current can flow all the way around)

18.2 Electric Current Electric current is defined as the rate of flow of charge through a conductor per unit time: Unit of electric current: the ampere, A. 1 A = 1 C/s. In a single circuit the current at any instant is the same at all points

18.2 Electric Current In order for current to flow, there must be a path from one battery terminal, through the circuit, and back to the other battery terminal. Only one of these circuits will work:

18.2 Electric Current By convention, current is defined as flowing from + to -. Electrons actually flow in the opposite direction.

18.3 Ohm’s Law: Resistance and Resistors To produce an electric current a potential difference or voltage is required. Experimentally, it is found that the current in a wire is proportional to the potential difference between its ends: A battery with 6 V will deliver twice the current as a 3 V battery

18.3 Ohm’s Law: Resistance and Resistors The ratio of voltage to current is called the resistance: Current is also dependent upon the internal friction or “ Resistance ” of the conductor Ohm’s Law

18.3 Ohm’s Law: Resistance and Resistors In most metal conductors, the resistance is independent of the voltage, that is resistance is a property of the material. It is a constant value for that material. This relationship is called Ohm’s law. Materials that do not follow Ohm’s law are called nonohmic. (Diodes, vacuum tubes, etc.) Unit of resistance: the ohm, Ω. 1 Ω = 1 V/A.

18.4 Resistivity Experimentally it has been determined that the resistance of a wire is directly proportional to its length and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area: The constant ρ, the resistivity, is characteristic of the material.

Conceptual Example: A wire of resistance R is stretched uniformly until it is twice its original length. What happens to its resistance? Length L doubles but the cross sectional area A is halved.

18.4 Resistivity For any given material, the resistivity usually increases with temperature: (18-4) Semiconductors are complex materials, and may have resistivities that decrease with temperature.

Electric Power Power, as in kinematics, is the energy transformed by a device per unit time: From Chapter 17: = current: I

Electric Power The unit of power is the watt, W. For ohmic devices, we can make the substitutions:

Electric Power – You pay for energy! It is energy that you pay for on your electric bill, not power. Since power is the rate energy is transformed, the total energy used is the power consumption multiplied by the time. Energy is measured in joules, but the electric company measures it in kilowatt-hours, kWh.

18.6 Power in Household Circuits The wires used in homes to carry electricity have very low resistance. However, if the current is high enough, the power will increase and the wires can become hot enough to start a fire. To avoid this, we use fuses or circuit breakers, which disconnect when the current goes above a predetermined value.

18.6 Power in Household Circuits Fuses are one-use items – if they blow, the fuse is destroyed and must be replaced.

18.6 Power in Household Circuits Circuit breakers, which are now much more common in homes than they once were, are switches that will open if the current is too high; they can then be reset.

18.7 Alternating Current Current from a battery flows steadily in one direction (direct current, DC). Current from a power plant varies sinusoidally (alternating current, AC).

18.7 Alternating Current The voltage varies sinusoidally with time: as does the current: (18-7)

18.7 Alternating Current Multiplying the current and the voltage gives the power:

18.7 Alternating Current Usually we are interested in the average power:

18.7 Alternating Current The current and voltage both have average values of zero, so we square them, take the average, then take the square root, yielding the root mean square (rms) value. (18-8a) (18-8b)
