  2. How do electrons (charges) flow within a conductor Direction of electron flows Direction of current Current : flow of positive charges

  3. How do electrons (charges) flow within a conductor When electrons travel through, they bump onto the outer electrons or the atoms and energies are given to the conductor.

  4. Ohm’s Law (i) Conductors (導電體) are material which can conduct electricity (傳電). (ii) Electrons (negative charges) or positive charges can go through conductor. (iii) Negative charges give energy to the conductor when they travel through the conductor.

  5. Ohm’s Law (iv) If there is a potential difference across a conductor, a current will flow through the conductor. (v) Ohm discovered (發現) that, in some conductors, the current (I) and the potential difference or voltage (V) across the conductor is directly proportional.

  6. Ohm’s Law (vi) So, his discovery is called Ohm's law. The proportional constant (the slope) is called the resistance of that material

  7. Ohm’s Law-summary Ohm’s law states that the p.d. across an ohmic conductor is directlyproportional to the current through it, provided that the temperature and other physical conditions are constant (the same). The proportional constant is called resistance . A material is called ohmic material if it follows the ohm’s law

  8. Experiment – Ohm’s Law Objective : To verify the ohm’s law Apparatus: 1 power supply 1 resistor (red) 1 voltmeter 1 ammeter 1 circuit board connecting wires 1 switch

  9. Experiment – Ohm’s Law • Your power supply consists of 4 electric cells. In this experiment, you are to measure the relationship between the current passing through and the potentialdifference across a resistor.

  10. Experiment – Ohm’s Law • Connect a red resistor, an ammeter, a switch and a power supply (4 cells) in series as shown in Figure 1. Figure 1

  11. Experiment – Ohm’s Law 2. Close the switch and measure the current shown in the ammeter, record the reading in Table 1.

  12. Table 1 == ========

  13. Experiment – Ohm’s Law • Keep the switch closed. Use the voltmeter to measure the potential difference across the red resistor as shown in figure 2. Record the reading in Table 1. Figure 2

  14. Experiment – Ohm’s Law 4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 with different numbers of electric cells in the power supply. Also record the results in Table 1.

  15. Experiment – Ohm’s Law 5.In the graph below , plot the graph of V against I. V/V I/A

  16. Experiment – Conclusion The proportional constant (resistance) of the resistor is : ___________ Ω Ohm’s law states that the p.d. across a conductor is __________ proportional to the current through it, provided that the ___________ and other physical conditions are constant. The ratio of p.d./current is the resistance of the conductor. It is measured in ___________. directly temperature Ohm, or Ω

  17. HOT questions If the battery of a circuit is exhausted, what will happen to the current in the circuit? • __________________________________ What are the possible reasons if the current in a circuit increases? • ____________________________________________________________________ The current will decrease and become zero. Either the resistance is lower or the supply source is of higher emf.

  18. Resistors (i)Any conductors which work under Ohm's Law are called resistor. (ii)The proportional constant(正比常數) of voltage and current is called the resistance (電阻值) of that conductor. (iii)Unit of resistance is "Ohm", or W .

  19. 12W Resistors (iv)The symbol of a resistor in a circuit : (v)The mathematical equation for Ohm’s law is: Where R : the resistance of the resistor, V : the voltage across the resistor, I : the current flow through the resistor. e.g.

  20. (c) Simple resistor circuit 15 Ω The values of R, V, I follows the ohm’s law.

  21. Example 5 C of charge passes a resistor in a circuit in 2 s, the total electrical energy dissipated by the charge is 8 J. (i) What is the resistance of the resistor ? V = E / Q = 8 J / 5C = 1.6 V I = Q / t = 5 C /2 s = 2.5 A R = V / I = 1.6 V / 2.5 A = 0.64 W

  22. Example 5 C of charge passes a resistor in a circuit in 2 s, the total electrical energy dissipated by the charge is 8 J. (ii) What is the power dissipation of the resistor ? P = E / t = 8 J / 2 s = 4 W

  23. Revisit of Electric Power E ( by definition) = P t = P (V=E/Q,I=Q/t, V x I=E/ t) V x I (I = V/R) = P V2 / R (V = I R) = P I2 R
