The arrows that we use in diagrams are indicative of the direction of the current flow.The arrows point in the direction in which positively charged particles would be forced to move by the electric field.

In time dt, charge dq moves through the resistor. (potential drop V). Thus energydrop is (dq V) .

To maintain the current, the battery must lift charge dq to the potential V, performing work

dU = dq ×V = idt ×VTo work done in unit time is the power of the battery:

emf devices and internal resistanceA device, such as a battery, which can maintain a potential difference by pumping charges is calledan emf device.

emf devices: electric generator uses mechanical energy to pump charges.Solar cells

An ideal emf device : the potential difference between

the terminals of an ideal emf device is always

A real emf device, has internal resistance, so that the potential difference between its two terminals dependson what load is connected.

Potential

The voltage available for R: - ir.The internal consumption:ir, proportional to i.

The loop rule:The sum of the changes in potential encountered in acomplete traversal of any loop of a circuit must be zero.

This is also known as Kirchhoff’s loop rule.

For a move through a resistance in the directionof the current, the change in potential is –iR.

For a move through an ideal emf device in the directionof the emf arrow, the potential change is .

1 − iR1 − iR2 − iR3 −ε2 = 0

The organic battery: electric eel

500 electroplaques per row

140 rows

Physicists’ electric eel

Total emf per row: 5000 x 0.15 V= 750 VTotal resistance per row: 5000 x 0.25 = 1250

The equivalent circuit per row:

row= 750V

Rrow=1250

The equivalent circuit of many rows:

row= 750V Rrow=1250

Req=?

the electric eel stuns

Why doesn’t the eel get itself stunned?

Because the electric eel is FAT.

When it comes to stunning, the current density is important, not just the current.

The electric eel is not an eel!!!

Network analysis

Superposition theorem

Eliminate all but one source at a time.

Take away B2, and calculate currents from B1 only

R2//R3:I1= 6A, I2=2A, I3=4A.

Take away B1

R1//R2:I3= 3A, I2=2A, I1=1A.

Now add algebraically:Current through R1:5A left to right;Current through R2: 4A down. Current through R3:3A
