Electric Current
The electric current is the amount ofcharge per unit time that passesthrough a plane that pass completelythrough the conductor.
The SI unit for current is a coulomb per second (C/s), called as an
ampere(A)

Direction of current
A current arrow is drawn inthe direction in which positivecharge carriers would move,even if the actual chargecarriers are negative andmove in the opposite
direction.
The direction of conventionalcurrent is always from a pointof higher potential toward apoint of lower potentialthat
is, from the positive towardthe negative terminal.

Current Density J
Current density is to study the flow ofcharge through a cross section of theconductor at a particular point
It is a vector which has the same
direction as the velocity of the movingcharges if they are positive and theopposite direction if they are negative.
The magnitude of Jis equal to thecurrent per unit area through that areaelement.

Drift Speed
When a conductor does not have a current through it,
its conduction electrons move randomly, with no netmotion in any direction. When the conductor doeshave a current through it, these electrons actuallystill move randomly, but now they tend to driftwitha drift speedvd in the direction opposite that of the
applied electric field that causes the current
Here the product ne, whose SI unit is the coulomb
per cubic meter (C/m3), is the carrier charge density

Sample Problem 26-3
What is the drift speed of the conductionelectrons in a copper wire with radius r=900m when it has a uniform current i=17 mA?Assume that each copper atom contributesone conduction electron to the current andthat the current density is uniform across
the wire's cross section. Mass density ofcopper is =8.96x103 kg/m3 .

The resistance
The resis tance (R)is defined as the ratio
of the voltage Vapplied across a piece of
material to the current Ithrough the
material: R=V/i.
SI Unit o f Resistance:volt/ampere
(V/A)=ohm()

The resistivity is an inherent property of thematerial
The resistivity of a material depends ontemperature. = 0[1 + (T - T0)]The term has the unit of reciprocaltemperature and is the temperature
coefficient of resistivity.

Sample Problem
A rectangular block of iron has dimensions1.2cmx1.2cmx15cm . A potential difference is to beapplied to the block between parallel sides and insuch a way that those sides are equipotential
surfaces (as in Fig. b). What is the resistance of theblock if the two parallel sides are (1) the squareends (with dimensions ) 1.2cmx1.2cm and (2) tworectangular sides (with dimensions 1.2cmx15cm )?

Conceptual Questions1. When an incandescent light bulb is turned on, the
tungsten filament becomes white hot. The
temperature coefficient of resistivity for tungsten isa positive number. What happens to the powerdelivered to the bulb as the filament heats up? Doesthe power increase, remain the same, or decrease?Justify your answer.
2. Two materials have different resistivities. Two wiresof the same length are made, one from each of thematerials. Is it possible for each wire to have thesame resistance? Explain.
3. One electrical appliance operates with a voltage of120 V, while another operates with 240 V. Based onthis information alone, is it correct to say that thesecond appliance uses more power than the first?Give your reasoning.

4. Two light bulbs are designed for use at 120 V andare rated at 75 W and 150 W. Which light bulb hasthe greater filament resistance? Why?
5. Often, the instructions for an electrical appliancedo not state how many watts of power the applianceuses. Instead, a statement such as 10 A, 120 V isgiven. Explain why this statement is equivalent to
telling you the power consumption.
