Batteries and Direct Current
Electric current is the flow of electric charge, measured in units of Amperes (A)
1A = 1C/s
A battery is a source of electric energy – it converts chemical energy into electric energy.

Batteries and Direct Current
In a circuit, electrons flow from the negative electrode to the positive one.
The positive electrode is called the anode; the negative electrode is the cathode.
A battery provides a constant source of voltage – it maintains a constant potential difference between its terminals.
André-Marie Ampère (1775 – 1836) was a French physicist who discovered electromagnetism

Batteries and Direct Current
The potential difference between the battery terminals when the battery is not connected to anything is called the electromotive force, emf.

17.1 Batteries and Direct CurrentThe actual terminal voltage of the battery is always less than the emf, due to internal resistance. Usually the difference is very small.

17.1 Batteries and Direct Current
When batteries are connected in series, the total voltage is the sum of the individual voltages.

17.1 Batteries and Direct Current
When batteries of equal voltage are connected in parallel, the total voltage does not change; each battery supplies part of the total current.

17.2 Current and Drift Velocity
Current is the time rate of flow of charge.
SI unit of current: the ampere, A.

17.2 Current and Drift Velocity
Historically, the direction of current has been taken to be from positive to negative; this is opposite to the way electrons flow. However, this seldom matters.
![Page 11: Lecuture23 currentohmslaw](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062511/54c911c34a7959c5458b4594/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
17.2 Current and Drift Velocity
Electrons do not flow like water in a pipe. In the absence of voltage, they move randomly at high speeds, due to their temperature.
When a voltage is applied, a very small drift velocity is added to the thermal motion, typically around 1 mm/s; this is enough to yield the observed current.

17.3 Resistance and Ohm’s LawIf there is a potential difference across a conductor, how much current flows?
The ratio between the voltage and the current is called the resistance.
SI unit of resistance: the ohm, Ω.

17.3 Resistance and Ohm’s Law
An ohmic material is one whose resistance is constant.
![Page 14: Lecuture23 currentohmslaw](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062511/54c911c34a7959c5458b4594/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
17.3 Resistance and Ohm’s Law
Ohm’s law is valid only for ohmic materials:
The resistance of a particular object depends on its length, cross-sectional area, material, and temperature.
![Page 15: Lecuture23 currentohmslaw](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062511/54c911c34a7959c5458b4594/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
17.3 Resistance and Ohm’s Law
As expected, the resistance is proportional to the length and inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area (why?):
The constant ρ is called the resistivity, and is characteristic of the material.
![Page 16: Lecuture23 currentohmslaw](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062511/54c911c34a7959c5458b4594/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
17.3 Resistance and Ohm’s LawIn this table, you can easily see the differences between the resistivities of conductors, semiconductors, and insulators.

17.3 Resistance and Ohm’s Law
For many materials, the temperature dependence of the resistivity is approximately linear, as long as the temperature change is not too large.
The constant α is called the temperature coefficient of resistivity. Some values of α are listed in the table on the previous page.

17.3 Resistance and Ohm’s Law
Some materials exhibit a curious phenomenon: at a very low temperature called the critical temperature, their resistivity drops abruptly to zero.
These are called superconductors; they have a number of unique properties. They are impractical for everyday home use, however, as they must be cooled to cryogenic temperatures.

17.4 Electric Power
Power, as usual, is the rate at which work is done. For work done by electricity:

For ohmic materials, we can write:

So, where does this power go? It is changed to heat in resistive materials.

We can reduce our energy usage by buying efficient appliances.

Review of Chapter 17
A battery produces emf; positive terminal is the anode, negative is the cathode
emf is measured in volts; it is the number of joules the battery supplies per coulomb of charge
An electric current can exist only in a complete circuit

Review of Chapter 17
Ohm’s law is obeyed if the resistance is constant:
The resistance of an object depends on its length, cross-sectional area, and resistivity.
