They are called charge carriers. Current direction is chosen to the electric field direction or the direction as the flow of positive charges.The motion of the charge carriers is the result of the movement driven by the electric field plus random collisions with other particles in the conductor. The average velocity of this motion is called the drift velocity Reviewn is the number of charge carriers per unit volume.q is the carrier chargeThe drift velocity is very small. What is actually prorogating in the conducting wire is the electric field. So the conducting wire is actually the carrier or guide for the electric field, which delivers the electric power.EdVThe current and the drift velocity has a linear relationship.dI nq= �rrv ACurrent Density J, the definitionCurrent density is a vector and is in the direction of the positive charge carriers, or in the direction of the electric field.dnqVJThe current density J of the current I a conductor is defined as the current per unit areaJ has SI units of A/m2 AdI JCompare with, one has: dI nq= �rrv AConductivity and Ohm’s LawFor some materials, the current density is directly proportional to the electric field:EJThe constant of proportionality, σ, is called the conductivity of the conductor. Another often used parameter is resistivity, ρis just inverse of the conductivity: ρ  σAnd this formula, is called Ohm’s Law.EJOhm’s LawOhm’s law states the ratio of the current density to the electric field is a constant σMathematically, J = σ EMost metals obey Ohm’s lawMaterials that obey Ohm’s law are said to be ohmicNot all materials follow Ohm’s lawMaterials that do not obey Ohm’s law are said to be nonohmicOhm’s law is not a fundamental law of natureOhm’s law is an empirical relationship valid only for certain materialsButResistance and a more popular form of Ohm’s LawFrom Ohm’s Law:lrEJ Es=One has:1E J Jrs= =Now exam the section of wire with length and cross section A, one has:l1 I lV El Jl Jl l IA AD r r rs= = = = =Now we define a new parameter, the resistance of this section of the wire, R:lRAr�VRID�Ohm’s Law becomesorV RID =Resistance, discussionSI units of resistance are ohms (Ω)1 Ω = 1 V / ASI units of resistivity are Ω·m Resistance proportional to the resistivity constant of the material, the length of the conductor (wire), inversely proportional to the cross section. In a conductor, the voltage applied across the ends of the conductor is proportional to the current through the conductorThe constant of proportionality is called the resistance of the conductorlRAr�VRID�V RID =Resistivity Values and the temperature coefficient αResistance and ResistorsAll (almost) materials have resistanceThose that are call ohmic if Ohm’s Law holds.VRID�In a circuit, the resistance of connecting wires (PCB copper traces) are often neglected.

The transmission line (aluminum) has a diameter of 2 inches. How much power must be generated to deliver 100 MW to Dallas, (a) If 110 V is used? (b) if 600,000 V is used?Example: two incandescent light bulbs In the US, the standard in our grid power system is 110 V. When two incandescent light bulbs (a pure resistive device, with light output proportional to the power consumed), with power specifications of 60 W and 100 W, are connected in parallel, which one is brighter?Example: two incandescent light bulbs Now connect them in series, which one is brighter in this
