4. Voltage, Current & Circuits Voltage is the potential difference that drives the movement of charged particles. (Named after Volta, who rediscovered the battery) Current is the flow of charged particles. An electric circuit is composed of three elements: 1) conductor 2) potential difference (V), supplied by battery, solar cell, thunderstorm, … 3) closed loop

5. Voltage, Current & Circuits Voltage is the potential difference that drives the movement of charged particles. Voltage is analogous to height in a gravitational field: gh Multiply by m  mgh – and you now have gravitational potential energy (Joules). Electrical potential energy is W = qV = Joules. The unit of V is Joules / coulomb

6. Current Electric current is the rate of flow of charge I = Δq/ Δt Ampere = Coulomb per second (passing by a point in a circuit) Ampere made discoveries regarding the interrelationships between electricity and magnetism in the early 1800’s

7. Current – which way does it go? Two types of current: Conventional current: Current flows from the positive terminal to the negative terminal Electron flow: Follow the electrons! Which are going the wrong way (by definition) Why are these not the same? –What famous American guessed wrong? When was the electron discovered?

8. Current – which way does it go? Two types of current: Conventional current: Current flows from the positive terminal to the negative terminal Electron flow: Follow the electrons! Which are going the wrong way (by definition) Why are these not the same? –What famous American guessed wrong? When was the electron discovered? –1898 (JJ Thompson) with his cathode ray tube. Long after current was defined.

13. Ohm’s Law: Ohm's Law …says that, for many materials under a wide range of conditions, the voltage, V, and current, I, are linearly related, which implies resistance, R, is independent of V and I.

14. Linear equation with zero intercept: y = mx V = IR The slope is the resistance, R

15. Resistance –the ratio of V/I Units: Ohms –Its inverse is conductance, unit is mhos Georg Ohm promulgated his famous law in 1827 –He was a high school Physics teacher!

16. Which is the dependent and which the independent variable? The slope is the inverse of the resistance, 1/R

17. Ohm’s Law V = IR Why do I care? Fix wiring problems in my home* Fix wiring problems in my car Fix my kid’s toys Figure out why my circuit breaker / fuse blows Do my job at work (the one I have now, not the one I had for the last 27 years) *Disclaimer: Consult your parents or a qualified electrician before trying this yourself.

23. Ohm’s Law: Ohm's Law …says that, for many materials under a wide range of conditions, the voltage, V, and current, I, are linearly related, which implies resistance, R, is independent of V and I. When does it not apply? Circuit elements that change temperature Examples? Circuit elements with large capacitance or strong magnetic fields (that are changing) Semiconductors: materials that are natural insulators that are made to be somewhat conductive Diode – like a one-way path

24. Example Units: Volt Current Resistance

25. Example A 10V battery is placed across a 5 Ohm resistor. What is the current? A 10A current flows through a 10 Ohm resistor. What is the voltage? A 10V battery drives a 1A current through a resistor. What is the resistance?

26. Power Power is the rate of doing work (Watts) Power = Work / time Power = Volt * q / t but q/t = I Electrical Power = Voltage * Current = VI Electrical Energy = Power * Time = VIt

27. Resistance and Ohm’s Law Resistance is the impedance to the flow of charge Resistance is defined as the ratio of potential difference to current R = V/I Unit is the Ohm, Ω A device is said to obey Ohm’s Law of its resistance is independent of the Voltage

28. Find Resistance of a material Depends on four factors –R ∞ Temp –R ∞ RHO (ρ) resitivity –R ∞ Length –R ∞ A -1 (cross-sectional Area)

29. Low resistance Short Fat cold

30. High Resistance Long Thin Hot

33. Diagramming circuits

34. Series Connection: –Within the circuit, –ammeters are always in the circuit, they measure flow of charge Ammeters should always have low resistance

35. Parallel Connection –Provides multiple paths for flow –Voltmeter is always placed parallel to the device you wish to measure the potential difference and have very high resistance
