Magnitude rate at which net positive charges move across a cross sectional surface Units:[I] = C/s = A (ampere) Current is ascalar, signed quantity, whose sign corresponds to the direction ofmotion of netpositive charges by convention Electric Current Current = charges in motion J = current density (vector) in A/m²
A Microscopic View of Electric Current in Conductor All charges move with some velocity ve random motion with high speeds (O(106)m/s) but with adrift in a certain direction on average if E is present • thermal energy • scattering off each other, defects, ions, … Drift velocity vdis orders of magnitudes less than the actual velocity of charges,

Usually T0 is 293K (room temp.) • Usually > 0 (ρ increases as T ) Temperature Dependence of Resistivity Copper
Transfers energy to the atoms of the solid (to vibrate), i.e., Joule heating. Electric Current and Joule Heating • Free electrons in a conductor gains kinetic energy due to an externally applied E. • Scattering from the atomic ions of the metal and other electrons quickly leads to a steady state with a constant current I.
Energy lost by Q is So, Power dissipation = rate of decrease of U = Energy in Electric Circuits • Steady current means a constant amount of charge Q flows past any given cross section during time t, where I= Q / t. I I a b a b ∆Q ∆Q => heat
EMF – Electromotive Force • An EMF device is a charge pump that can maintain a potential difference across two terminals by doing work on the charges when necessary. Examples:battery, fuel cell, electric generator, solar cell, fuel cell, thermopile, … • Converts energy (chemical, mechanical, solar, thermal, …) into electrical energy. • Within the EMF device, positive charges are lifted from lower to higher potential. • If work dW is required to lift charge dq, EMF

Energy conservation Work done by battery is equal to energy dissipated in resistor dW > i2Rdt or > iR=V Energy Conservation A circuit consists of an ideal battery (B) with emf , a resistor R, and two connecting wires of negligible resistance. • Idealbattery:no internal energy dissipation • Realbattery: internal energy dissipation exists
