If there is a density of electrons n per unit volume and they are moving with a velocity v, then how many cross the surface in a time Δt?

How does this relate to the individual charges? Constant flow means pushing force balances the drag force What pushes the charges through resistance?

Resistance —devices that have significant drag and oppose current. Pressure will drop across them. Wires — have very little resistance. We can ignore the drag in them (mostly – as long as there are other resistances present).Resistivity and Conductance The resistance factor in Ohms Law separates into a geometrical part (L/A) times a part independent of the size and shape but dependent on the material. This coefficient is called the resistivity of the material (ρ). Its reciprocal (g) is called conductance. 5/18/11 9 Physics 122 R =bLq2nA⎛⎝⎜⎞⎠⎟=ρLA=1gLA5/18/11 10 Physics 122 Foothold ideas: Kirchoffs Rules Flow Rule – The total amount of current flowing into any point in a network equals the amount flowing out (no significant build-up of charge anywhere). Loop Rule – Following around any loop in an electrical network the potential has to come back to the same value (sum of drops = sum of rises). Ohms Rule – When a current I passes through a resistance R, there is a voltage drop across the resistor of an amount Battery rule – A battery provides a constant ΔV across its terminals. Constant Potential Trick – Along any conducting part of a circuit with 0 resistance, V = constant.

Such separations are always associated with electric fields and hence with potential differences. The ratio of the charge separation to the potential difference is the capacitance. Charge separations take work to create and are associated with stored energy.

(Assuming the space between the plates is filled by the insulator.) C =κ14πkCALFoothold ideas: Phenomenology of Magnets 5/18/11 17 Physics 122 Certain objects (magnets) attract and repel other magnets depending on orientation. Magnets (all orientations) attract a certain class of other objects – iron, steel,… but not all metals (e.g., aluminum, copper,…). Objects that are attracted by magnets can be made into magnets by being stroked consistently in one direction with a magnet. Magnets can lose their magnetism by heating or hammering.. Each part of a broken magnet still shows attraction and repulsion with other magnets.Foothold ideas: Magnetism 2.0 Magnetic fields are produced by magnets and by moving charges (currents). Magnetic fields are felt by magnets and by moving charges (currents). Magnetic force law: Magnetic field law: Although there are magnetic dipoles (e-, p+) there are no separate magnetic poles. 5/18/11 18 Physics 122 FB= qv ×B ΔF = IΔL ×B ΔB = kAIΔL ׈rr25/18/11 19 Physics 122 Maxwells Principles Maxwell 1: Point charges serve as sources to create electric fields.
