Static electricity
• You walk across the rug, reach for the doorknob and..........ZAP!!!
• ?????????• Everything in the world consists of tiny
particles called "atoms." Atoms contain even tinier particles called "protons," "neutrons" and "electrons."
![Page 4: Electricity as level](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070520/58f1436d1a28ab037a8b45db/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Static electricity
• Sometimes, however, the outer layer of an atom gets rubbed off. This creates atoms with a slightly more positive charge.
• The item which rubs off the outer layer of the atom steals" some of the extra electrons, making it slightly negative.
![Page 5: Electricity as level](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070520/58f1436d1a28ab037a8b45db/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Static electricity
• As you walk over carpet in socks, your feet rub electrons off the carpet, leaving you with a slightly negative static charge. When you reach for a doorknob, you get a shock as electrons jump from you to the knob, which conducts electricity.

Electric field
• It is the region around a charged particle or object within which a force would be exerted on a test charge.
• Every charged object will experience the effect electric field.

Electric charge
• Charge is the fundamental quantity of electricity. (Electricity is all about charge.)
• No one can tell you what charge is. They can only tell you how charges interact.
![Page 12: Electricity as level](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070520/58f1436d1a28ab037a8b45db/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Electric charges• Electric charge (often just called charge) comes
in two and only two types.• positive (+) and • negative (−) • The term neutral does not refer to a third type of
charge, but to the presence in a region of positive and negative charges in equal amount.
• The sum of identical positive and negative quantities is zero (0). This is what it means to be electrically neutral.
![Page 13: Electricity as level](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070520/58f1436d1a28ab037a8b45db/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Charges
• Elementary Charge• 1.60 × 10−19 coulombs• the magnitude of the charge on an
electron or proton• Charge is quantized in multiples of the
elementary charge
![Page 14: Electricity as level](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070520/58f1436d1a28ab037a8b45db/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Electric current
• Electric current is defined as the rate at which charge flows through a surface (the cross section of a wire, for example).
• It is a scalar quantity.• The direction of electric current is always
taken as from positive to negative.• Current is the flow of charged particles.
![Page 15: Electricity as level](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070520/58f1436d1a28ab037a8b45db/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
![Page 16: Electricity as level](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070520/58f1436d1a28ab037a8b45db/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Potential differences
• Potential difference between two points in a circuit is the work done in moving unit charge (i.e. one coulomb) from one point to the other
• Unit of potential difference is volt.
![Page 17: Electricity as level](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070520/58f1436d1a28ab037a8b45db/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Resistance and Resistivity
• What is resistance• I-V characteristics & Ohm’s Law• Superconductivity• Resistance and temperature• Resistivity
![Page 18: Electricity as level](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070520/58f1436d1a28ab037a8b45db/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Resistance
• Resistance is the measure of opposition to electric current.
• This resistance serves to limit the amount of current through the circuit with a given amount of voltage supplied by the battery, as compared with the “short circuit” where we had nothing but a wire joining one end of the voltage source (battery) to the other.
![Page 19: Electricity as level](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070520/58f1436d1a28ab037a8b45db/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
More about resistances• For an electron, the journey from terminal to
terminal is not a direct route. Rather, it is a zigzag path that results from countless collisions with fixed atoms within the conducting material. The electrons encounter resistance - a hindrance to their movement. While the electric potential difference established between the two terminals encourages the movement of charge, it is resistance that discourages their movement.
![Page 20: Electricity as level](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070520/58f1436d1a28ab037a8b45db/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
I-V Characteristics
• When the potential difference across(p.d) the conductor is varies, the current through the conductor will also vary.
• These two quantities are found to be linearly related to a metallic conductor.
• A graph plotted between these two quantities is called the I-V characteristics.
![Page 21: Electricity as level](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070520/58f1436d1a28ab037a8b45db/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Ohm’s law
• For a metallic conductor at normal temperatures, the current flowing through the conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference across the terminals.
• This relationship is given as OHM’S LAW.• V = I R• Where V is the p.d and I is the current.• R the constant of proportionality is the
resistance of the conductor.
![Page 22: Electricity as level](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070520/58f1436d1a28ab037a8b45db/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
More on I- V characteristics
• I-V characteristic curves are generally used as a tool to determine and understand the basic parameters of a component or device and which can also be used to mathematically model its behaviour within an electrical circuit.
![Page 23: Electricity as level](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070520/58f1436d1a28ab037a8b45db/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Metallic conductor• A resistor R satisfies Ohm’s law, I=V/R, so
its I-V characteristic goes through the origin and has slope 1/R.
• Resistance = 1/ gradient of the graph
The conductors which obey Ohm’s law is called ohmic conductors.
![Page 24: Electricity as level](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070520/58f1436d1a28ab037a8b45db/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Resistance and temperature.
• A conductor which disobeys Ohm’s law is said to be a non- ohmic conductor.
• Metal filament of a lamp is an example for that.
• The filament has a very high resistance and so when current flows through the circuit the filament heats up and start to glow.
![Page 25: Electricity as level](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070520/58f1436d1a28ab037a8b45db/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
I-V characteristic for a non- ohmic resistor
![Page 26: Electricity as level](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070520/58f1436d1a28ab037a8b45db/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Similar to the case of an ohmic resistor, the line passes through the origin
When the current and voltages are small, the graph is roughly a straight line.
When the voltages are high it start to curve showing the resistance value high.

Temperature dependence of the resistance
• When the voltage is more the resistance is more in case of a filament lamp.
• It can be interpreted as the resistance variation for the filament is due to the increase in temperature.
![Page 28: Electricity as level](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070520/58f1436d1a28ab037a8b45db/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Thermistors
• The name thermistor is a shortening of the words thermally sensitive resistor.
• Thermistors are the temperature dependant resistors.
• Their resistance value changes rapidly with the temperature.
• They are mainly the oxides of manganese and nickel.
![Page 30: Electricity as level](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070520/58f1436d1a28ab037a8b45db/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Thermistor circuit symbol
This thermistor circuit symbol is widely used within circuit diagrams.
![Page 31: Electricity as level](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070520/58f1436d1a28ab037a8b45db/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Types of thermistors
• Negative temperature coefficient (NTC thermistor) This type of thermistor has the property where the resistance decreases with increasing temperature.
• Positive temperature coefficient (PTC thermistor) This type has the property where the resistance increases with increasing temperature.
![Page 32: Electricity as level](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070520/58f1436d1a28ab037a8b45db/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
![Page 33: Electricity as level](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070520/58f1436d1a28ab037a8b45db/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Uses Of Thermistors• Thermistors can be used in a wide variety of
applications. They provide a simple, reliable and inexpensive method of sensing temperatures. As such they may be found in a wide variety of devices from fire alarms to thermostats.
![Page 34: Electricity as level](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070520/58f1436d1a28ab037a8b45db/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Use of a negative temperature coefficient thermistor in industry.• Another thermistor application is as temperature
compensation devices. Most resistors have a positive temperature co-efficient, their resistance increasing with increasing temperature. In applications where stability is required, a thermistor with a negative temperature co-efficient can be incorporated.
![Page 35: Electricity as level](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070520/58f1436d1a28ab037a8b45db/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Diodes
• Semi conductor diode is another non-ohmic resistor.
• A semi conductor diode allows current flow only when it is forward biased.
![Page 36: Electricity as level](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070520/58f1436d1a28ab037a8b45db/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
I-V characteristics of a diode
![Page 37: Electricity as level](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070520/58f1436d1a28ab037a8b45db/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Diodes
• Forward junction potential (threshold potential) is the voltage applied to a forward biased junction so that the diode start conducting (resistance decreases).
• It has a value 0.7 V for silicon diodes and 0.3 V for germanium diodes.
• Breakdown voltage is the reverse voltage which a diode cannot withstand and it start conducting beyond that.
![Page 38: Electricity as level](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070520/58f1436d1a28ab037a8b45db/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Resistance of a pure and an impure metal.
• Resistance also depends on the material of the conductor. If you pass electricity through a wire made of a pure metal it will have less resistance than a wire which is made up out of a metal alloy. This is because the atoms in a pure metal are all equal in size and the gaps between the atoms are also equal and so a current can pass easily through the gaps, whereas in an metal alloy the atoms are of different sizes and so the atoms are at unequal intervals making it more difficult for a current to pass through the gaps.
![Page 39: Electricity as level](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070520/58f1436d1a28ab037a8b45db/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Metals and alloys
Pure metal has an orderly arrangement while alloys or impure metals have a disorderly arrangement because of the different sized atoms.
![Page 40: Electricity as level](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070520/58f1436d1a28ab037a8b45db/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Resistivity
• If the dimensions of a conductor(length and area of cross section of a conductor) do not change, it’s resistance will not change.
• If two conductors of exactly the same dimensions have a different resistance, indicates that resistance depends on one more factor other than length and area of cross section.
![Page 41: Electricity as level](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070520/58f1436d1a28ab037a8b45db/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
What is resisitivity
• Electrical resistivity (also known as resistivity, specific electrical resistance, or volumeresistivity) is an intrinsic property that quantifies how strongly a given material opposes the flow of electric current.
• S. I unit is Ω -m
![Page 42: Electricity as level](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070520/58f1436d1a28ab037a8b45db/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Resistance of a conductor depends on
• Length l• Cross-sectional area A• The material the wire is made from• The temperature of the wire
![Page 43: Electricity as level](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070520/58f1436d1a28ab037a8b45db/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
It can be written as ….
• resistance = resistivity × length / area
Where, ρ is the resistivity of the material.

Resistivity and temperature
• For metals, resistivity increases as temperature increases.
• For semiconductors and many insulators, resistivity decreases with temperature.
With increase in temperature for a metal the collision frequency increases which results in increase in resistance.
![Page 48: Electricity as level](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070520/58f1436d1a28ab037a8b45db/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
CIRCUITS
• The invention of the battery -- which could produce a continuous flow of current -- made possible the development of the first electric circuits. Alessandro Volta invented the first battery, the voltaic pile, in 1800. The very first circuits used a battery and electrodes immersed in a container of water. The flow of current through the water produced hydrogen and oxygen.
![Page 49: Electricity as level](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070520/58f1436d1a28ab037a8b45db/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Voltaic pile
• Constructed of alternating discs of zinc and copper, with pieces of cardboard soaked in brine between the metals, the voltaic pile produced electrical current. The metallic conducting arc was used to carry the electricity over a greater distance. Alessandro Volta's voltaic pile was the first battery that produced a reliable, steady current of electricity.

EMF – electromotive force
• The electromotive force (e) or e.m.f. is the energy provided by a cell or battery per coulomb of charge passing through it, it is measured in volts (V). It is equal to the potential difference across the terminals of the cell when no current is flowing.
![Page 52: Electricity as level](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070520/58f1436d1a28ab037a8b45db/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Internal resistance
• When electricity flows round a circuit the internal resistance of the cell itself resists the flow of current and so thermal (heat) energy is wasted in the cell itself.
![Page 53: Electricity as level](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070520/58f1436d1a28ab037a8b45db/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Internal resistance
• e = electromotive force in volts, V• I = current in amperes, A• R = resistance of the load in the circuit in
ohms, W• r = internal resistance of the cell in
ohms, W
![Page 54: Electricity as level](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070520/58f1436d1a28ab037a8b45db/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
For a power supply internal resistance may be due to the wires and components inside while for the cell it is due to the chemicals inside it.
![Page 55: Electricity as level](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070520/58f1436d1a28ab037a8b45db/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
If we plot a graph of terminal potential difference (V) against the current in the circuit (I) we get a straight line with a negative gradient.

Internal resistance and emf from the plot.
• We can them rearrange the e.m.f. equation from above to match the general experession for a straight line, y = mx +c.
• V= - Ir+ε• The slope from the plot gives –r(the
internal resistance of the cell).• The Y- intercept gives the e.m.f of he cell.
![Page 57: Electricity as level](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070520/58f1436d1a28ab037a8b45db/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Due to internal resistance
• When the charges flows through external resistance and internal resistance of the power supply, some energy is lost as heat.
• The heating effect of cell when we use the cell to supply power for an electrical component is because some energy is used by the charges to do work against the internal resistance.
![Page 58: Electricity as level](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070520/58f1436d1a28ab037a8b45db/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Effects of internal resistance
• A battery with low internal resistance delivers high current on demand. High resistance causes the battery to heat up and the voltage to drop. The equipment cuts off, leaving energy behind.
![Page 59: Electricity as level](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070520/58f1436d1a28ab037a8b45db/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Low resistance, delivers high current on demand; battery stays cool.
High resistance, current is restricted, voltage drops on load; battery heats up.

Internal resistance of cell
• http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/legacy/circuit-construction-kit-ac-virtual-lab
• Download circuit construction kit and make a circuit containing a cell, a switch and resistor .
• Connect an ammeter and voltmeter in the circuit.
• Right click the cell and change it’s internal resistance of the cell.
![Page 61: Electricity as level](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070520/58f1436d1a28ab037a8b45db/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Internal resistance of the cell…
• With switch open measure the voltage across the cell. It gives the emf of the cell.
• Close the circuit and measure the voltage using the voltmeter. It gives the terminal voltage of the cell.
• Vary the resistance value by right clicking the resistance and repeat the experiment.

Potential dividers.
• A potential divider is a simple circuit that uses resisters(or thermistors / LDR’s) to supply a variable potential difference.
• They can be used as audio volume controls, to control the temperature in a freezer or monitor changes in light in a room.
![Page 63: Electricity as level](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070520/58f1436d1a28ab037a8b45db/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)

• Two resistors divide up the voltage supplied to them from a cell. The p.d. that the two resistors get depends on their resistance values.
• Vin = p.d. supplied by the cell• Vout = p.d. across the resistor of interest• R1 = resistance of resistor of interest R1
• R2= resistance of resistor R2
