DC Stuff Continues W7D3
This Week + peek into the future • Quiz on DC Circuits • Complete Unit #8 • Be sure to download the next unit from the website. • Best Guess about Exam #2 • Monday, October 18th • Yes, that’s in about one week! • Review session on Monday morning @ 7:30AM • Next major topic will be MAGNETISM.
Reading Summary /next exam • Chapter 18 • Parallel Plate Capacitor (548) • Chapter 19 • Sections 19.1-19.4 • Section 19.5 – Only what we cover in class • Chapter 20 • Section 20.1-20.4 • Section 20.6-20.11 • Section 20.12 – A covered in clss
E= enf=internal voltage Internal resistance reduces the effective voltage of the battery. E Use this in the experiment with the W wire!
the Kirchoff corporation. • From the current unit: • The current entering a node is equal to the current leaving it. What goes in must come out! I Direction doesn’t matter.
The Loop Equation If you start at a point in a circuit and go around the loop and return to the same place, the change in potential is zero. Or: The sum of the voltage rises = the sum of the voltage drops=0 I

This week • We continue our exploration or DC circuits. • There is a WebAssign which you should be able to answer later in the week. Feel free to actually read the textbook and start sooner! • There will be a QUIZ on Friday. • Examinations have been returned.
Be aware • The “exploration” approach leaves much out of the classroom discussion. • Some of this required material may be found in the textbook. • WebAssign can serve as a guide to some of this.
Current I L - + A V
ANOTHER DEFINITION (Average) Current Density
The total charge moving from A to B must be the Same or charge would build up at the interface. I A B
NOTE • Electric Current is DEFINED as the flow of POSITIVE CHARGE. • It is really the electrons that move, so the current is actually in the opposite direction to the actual flow of charge. (Thank Franklin!)
Charge is moving so there must be an E in the metal conductor!
Ohm • A particular object will resist the flow of current. • It is found that for any conducting object, the current is proportional to the applied voltage. • STATEMENT: DV=IR • R is called the resistance of the object. • An object that allows a current flow of one ampere when one volt is applied to it has a resistance of one OHM.
Resistivity and Resistance I L - + A V
How? A wire has a resistance of 20 Ω. It is melted down, and from the same volume of metal a new wire is made that is three times longer than the original wire. What is the resistance of the new wire?
A current I flows through a device. The difference in potential from one side of the device to the other is V. How much POWER is dissipated in the device?
Reading materials • Sections: 20.1-20.4 • Sections: 20.6-20.9 • Watch for a new WebAssign that will be due on TUESDAY evening so we can get back on schedule.

About that experiment • The meter doesn’t seem to function correctly for this experiment • Significant contact resistance … the pressure on the contact is important. The meter works better at higher currents. • Here is data from another meter. • Use this data and bypass the experiment. • Sorry about that!
