CURRENT ELECTRICITY ELECTRIC CURRENT The rate of flow of electric charge is called electric current. If ‘Q’ is the charge that passes through any conductor in time ‘t’ then current I=Q/t 1Amp=1C/1s
CURRENT ARE OF TWO TYPES:- • 1. DIRECT CURRENT- If the magnitude and direction of the current remains constant at all time interval and graph between current and time is a straight line. Then, the current is known as DIRECT CURRENT.
2. ALTERNATING CURRENT- If the magnitude and direction of the current changes continuously at regular interval of time and graph between current and time is a sin or cosine curve then the current is known is ALTERNATING CURRENT.
OHM’S LAW • According to ohm’s law the current flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference applied across the ends of the conductor provided physical conditions remains same. • V α I • Or V=IR Or R=V/I • This constant is called resistance of conductor.
RESISTANCE • It’s the property of a material due to which it opposes the flow of electric current through it. • Unit of resistance is ohm and it’s denoted by (Ω)
Factors upon which resistance of a conductor depends are the following:- • It’s proportional to the length of the conductor. R α l -(1) • It’s inversely proportional to the area of cross-section of the conductor. R α 1/a -(2) • It depends upon the nature of material. • It depends upon the temperature.
SPECIFIC RESISTANCE • Specific resistance of a material of a conductor can be defined as the resistance offered by a conductor of a material having length of 1m and area of cross section 1m square. • S.I. Unit of specific resistance is Ωm. • By combining (1) and (2) • R α l/a • R=S.l/a • If l=1, a = 1 • Then R=P (P is called rho)-(3)
Series Combination of Resistances:-Two or more resistances when connected in series have Constant current and varying voltage. Therefore the total voltage is the sum total of individual voltages V= V1+V2+V3
PARALLEL COMBINATION OF RESISTANCES:-Two or more Resistances when connected in parallel have constant voltage and varying current.Therefore the total current is equal to the sum total of individual currents
CONDUCTANCE • It’s the property of a material to permit electric charge to flow through it. Therefore, conductance is the reciprocal of resistance. • It’s denoted by ‘G’ , G=1/R • S.I Unit = mho/m.
Heating Effect of Current • Whenever an electric current passes through a conductor then the conductor will become hot. This heating effect is known as joule’s heating. • Also, heat produced will depend upon the square of the current passing through the conductor and the time taken in which the current is passing through the conductor. • H=square of current×Resistance×time.This law is known as joule’s law of • heating
SUPERCONDUCTIVITY • It’s the phenomena in which the conductor has zero resistance at very low temperature .This phenomena is known as superconductivity.
