Chapter 25 Current, Resistance and Electromotive Force - Current - Resistivity - Resistance - Electromotive Force and Circuits - Energy and Power in electric Circuits - Theory of Metallic Conduction 1. Current electric current: charges in motion from one region to another. electric circuit: conducting path that forms a closed loop in which charges move. In these circuits, energy is conveyed from one place to another. Electrostatics: E = 0 within a conductor Current (I) = 0, but not all charges are at rest, free electrons can move (v ~ 106 m/s). Electrons are attracted to + ions in material do not escape. Electron motion is random no net charge flow Non-electrostatic: E 0 inside conductor F = q E.
- In this device, the charge travels “uphill” from lower to higher V (opposite to normal conductor) due to the emf force. - emf is not a force but energy/unit charge Units: 1 V = 1 J/C - emf device convert energy (mechanical, chemical, thermal) into electric potential energy and transfer it to circuit. Electromotive Force (emf)
