7. P.67 The steady average velocity of the free electrons in the drifting direction or, effectively, in the direction opposite to that of the electric field is known as the drift velocity of the free electrons in the metal. Drift velocity

8. P.67 Drift velocity Current = Rate of flow of charge I = nAvQ

9. P.67 Mechanism of electrical conduction in metals Notes: 1. For copper, since the value of the number of free electrons per unit volume (n) is large (10 29 ), the electron drift velocity (v) is rather small. It is less than 1 mm per second. 2. At higher temperatures, the amplitude of vibration of the ions increases and the free electrons collide more frequently with the ions. The drift velocity of the free electrons decreases. Thus, the current decreases.

10. P.68 Distinction between drift velocity and speed of electrical signal 1. Average random speed: - averaging random speeds in a specific direction - order of magnitude of 10 6 m s -1 2. Drift velocity: - electrons travels from one end to the other end of a wire - electric field is set up inside - much smaller order of magnitude of 10 -4 m s -1 3. Electrical signal speed: - speed of electric field - = speed of EM waves (3 x 10 8 m s -1 )

15. P.69 Electromotive force (e.m.f.) Electric current from P (higher potential) to Q (lower potential) - until P and Q at same potential

16. P.69 Electromotive force (e.m.f.) The electromotive force (e.m.f.) of a source is defined as the electrical potential energy supplied to each coulomb of charge by the source to drive the charge around a complete circuit. Unit: volt (1 V = 1 J C -1 )

17. P.69 Potential difference (p.d.) The potential difference (p.d.) between two points in a circuit is the energy converted from electrical potential energy to other forms when one coulomb of charge passing between the points outside the power source. Unit: J C -1 or volt (V)

18. P.69 The p.d. between two points in a circuit can also be defined as the ratio of the power dissipated between the two points to the current that flows through the two points.

19. P.69 Potential difference (p.d.) 1. Definition of volt (1 V) - 1 J of electrical energy is converted to other forms of energy between two points when 1 C of charge flows - power dissipated between two points is 1 W when current flowing is 1 A

22. P.70 Electrical resistance 1. Definition of resistance - unit: ohm (  ) The ohm (1 Ω) is the resistance of a conductor when a current of one ampere (1 A) flows through the conductor, the potential difference across it is one volt (1 V).

23. P.70 Current – voltage relation

24. P.70 Ohm’s Law Ohm’s Law states that the steady current through a metallic conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference across it, provided that the temperature and other physical conditions remain constant. Ohmic conductor - conductor obeys Ohm’s Law (I  p.d.)

25. P.70 Non-ohmic conductor - I-V characteristics are not straight lines Notes: 1. The expression V/I = R is not a representation of Ohm’s Law but a representation of the resistance R. A non-ohmic conductor also has a resistance which can be found using the equation R = V/I but its value is not a constant. 2. Ohm’s Law can be represented by the expression V/I = constant only when the temperature is constant. This implies that at constant temperature, the resistance of an ohmic conductor is independent of the current I or the potential difference V. 3. Therefore, Ohm’s Law is only a special case of resistance behaviour.

99. P.90 When the bridge is balanced, Notes: When using the metre bridge, certain precautions need to be taken. 1. The value of the standard resistance S need to be chosen such that the balance point B is about in the middle third of the slide wire, i.e. roughly between the 30 cm mark and the 70 cm mark. This is done by trial and error. When the balance point falls in the middle third of the wire, the percentage errors in the measurement of l 1 and l 2 are of the same order.

100. P.90 Notes: 2. The slider should not be slided on the slide wire so that its uniformity is maintained. 3. The experiment must be repeated with the unknown resistance R in the right-hand gap and the standard resistance S in the left-hand gap. This is to eliminate end errors. A source of end error is the point where the slide wire is soldered to the copper strips. The different amounts of solder used may result in the points of contact having different electrical resistances. Metre bridge – not suitable for low resistance
