State Ohm’s law

  • Ohm's law states that the potential difference across a conductor is directly proportional to the

    current flowing through it, provided all physical conditions and temperature, remain constant.

  • V = I/R

  • What is electric current?

  • What is the formula of electric current?

Electric current (I) is rate at which charges flow through an area.

  • I = current (Amperes)

  • Q = charge (coulombs)

  • t = time (secs)

New cards

What is the difference between conventional and real current?

  • Conventional current (I) is defined as the flow of positive charge.

  • Real current is the flow of the actual direction of electrons.

12
New cards

What is resistance?

Give the formula.

Resistance is opposition to the flow of charge.

New cards

How does temperature affect resistance?

  • Conductors : resistivity varies linearly with temperature

  • Super conductors : at a very low temperature the resistivity goes to zero

  • Semiconductors : for some semiconductors resistance decreases as temperature increases (refrigerators)

21
New cards

A parallel plate capacitor has an initial capacitance C0. How would halving the area of the plates affect the capacitance of the capacitor?

C is directly proportional to Area. Halving the area makes the capacitance half of the original value.

22
New cards

A parallel plate capacitor has an initial capacitance C0. How would doubling the distance of separation between the plates affect the capacitance of the capacitor?

C is inversely proportional to distance. Doubling the distance makes the capacitance half of the original value.

23
New cards

A parallel plate capacitor has an initial capacitance 𝐶0. The area of the plates is halved, the distance of separation is doubled and a dielectric material with dielectric constant 𝜅 = 2 is inserted in between the plates filling the entire gap. What is the ratio of the new capacitance 𝐶1 to the old capacitance 𝐶0?
