1. Current and Resistance
Chapter 26
Current and Resistance
In this chapter we will introduce the following new concepts:
-Electric current ( symbol i ) Electric current density vector (symbol ) Drift speed (symbol vd ) Resistance (symbol R ) and resistivity (symbol ρ ) of a conductor -Ohmic and non-Ohmic conductors
We will also cover the following topics:
-Ohm’s law Power in electric circuits
