When there is current, the bulb glows and the compass needle deflects. Current Phys 133 – Chapter 30
Electron Current (i) i = electrons/sec n = electrons/m3 vd 10-4 m/s Phys 133 – Chapter 30
Question The light switch is located approximately 2 m from the light. How long will it take an electron to travel this distance? (vD=10-4 m/s) Do Workbook 28.7 Phys 133 – Chapter 30
Electrons cannot be created or destroyed (conservation of charge) Conservation of electron current The electron current is the same at all points in a current-carrying wire. The electron current into a junction is the same as the electron current leaving a junction. Phys 133 – Chapter 30
need an electric field How to create current static dynamic (not static equilibrium) Phys 133 – Chapter 30
Surface charges make E field - creates current What creates Electric Field? Phys 133 – Chapter 30

Battery: charge escalator “Pump”, no charge created Move charge against electric field Battery Phys 133 – Chapter 30
Current (I)(as opposed to electron current) Current - amount of charge passing per unit time Current Density -charge passing per unit time per unit area Phys 133 – Chapter 30
(conservation of charge/current) Kirchoff’s junction rule Phys 133 – Chapter 30
Collisions/energy transfer No electric field With electric field Electrons move randomly Electrons tend to move against electric field Phys 133 – Chapter 30
Conduction/resitivity -Fields cause current (add energy) -Collisions (take away energy) -Current density (J) linear in electric field -Depends on conductivity (resistivity) -material dependent -environment (temperature, magnetic field, …) Phys 133 – Chapter 30

Problem 28.33 The electron beam inside a TV tube is 0.4 mm in diameter with current 50 A. Electrons strike screen. How many electrons strike screen each second? What is the current density in the beam? The electrons move at 4.0x107m/s. What electric field is necessary to accelerate the electrons to this speed over a distance of 5.0 mm? Assume each electron gives its kinetic energy to the screen. What power is delivered to the screen? Phys 133 – Chapter 30
