Basic Electricity (6711) G.M. JAHEDUL ISLAM Instructor Department of ELECTRICAL IDEAL INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY (IIST)
Previous Lesson In my firstclass I discuss about conductor and insulator Direction of current flow. • The factors on which the resistance of conductor depends and law of resistance.
Learning outcomes • After finished the lesson. students will be able know: • SPECIFIC RESISTANCE. • Resistivity and its unit. • The problems relating to laws of resistance.
SPECIFIC RESISTANCE • The resistivity of a material is based on the resistance of define volume of that material the letter symbol for resistivity is ϱ (the Greek letter Rho). • Resistivity may also be called specific resistance. Table list the resistivity in ohm- centimetre ( Ω.cm ). It also lists values in uints of circular mil-ohms per foot ( cmil -Ω/ft) for the conducotr group.
Specific resistance can be derived from the following relations of the resistance dependence factors 1. LENGTH • Resistacne is directly proportional to the length of conductor. • R ∝ L ---------1 • 2. AREA • Resistance is inversily proportional to the area of conductor. • R ∝ 1/A ----------2 • by combining 1 and 2 • R ∝ L/A • R = ϱ L/A • Where ϱ (Rho) is constant for the material called its specific resistance or resistivity.
Resistivity and its unit: • RESISTIVITY and CONDUCTIVITYResistivity is the resistance of a unit volume of a material. In the metric system, the unit of length is the meter, and area is the square meter. Thus, resistivity is measured in units of Ohm - meters squared per meter (Ohm-m2/m), often abbreviated as Ohm-m. Resistivity also equals the ratio of voltage to current, if the length and area are unity. Thus: 3: RES = V / I * L / A • WHERE: A = area (square meters) V = voltage (volts) I = current (amperes) L = length (meters) RES = resistivity (ohm-m)
R=pL/A (Resistance = resistivity (ohms/m) x length / cross sectional area) • Resistance / resistivity =length/area [ Resistance X area ] / Resistivity =Length Length = [ Resistance X cross-sectional area ] / Resistivity [*Length is in meter Resistance is in ohms cross-sectional area is in meter^2 [ square meter] Resistivity is in ohms-meter. So, unit of length is, =ohms x meter^2 divided by ohms-meter =ohms x meter x meter / ohms-meter =meter
R=pL /A (Resistance = resistivity (ohms/m) x length / cross sectional area) • Resistance of a wire R = ρL/A ρ is resistivity of the material L is length in meters A is cross-sectional area in m² R = ρL/A RA = ρL L = RA/ρ
