Ohm’s Law As we just discussed, a resistor is a conductor with a

specified resistance. It has that same resistance no matter what the magnitude and direction (polarity) of the applied potential difference are.

Other conducting devices, however, might have resistance that change with the applied potential difference.

First, we must define how to assign polarity to a terminal and how to describe current direction.

• The terminal with higher potential is given a positive sign, while the terminal with lower potential is given a negative sign.

• The current will flow from higher potential to lower potential. This is taken as direction of positive current.


Ohm’s Law The i-V plot of a 1000 Ω resistor

is shown next. The slope of the line (i/V) is the

same for all V. This means that the resistance

of the device is independent of the magnitude and polarity of V.

The i-V plot of a pn junction diode is shown next.

The relation between i and V is not linear. The slope of the line (i/V) varies throughout V.

This means that the resistance of the device depends on the magnitude and the polarity of V.


Ohm’s Law Ohm’s law:

A conducting device obeys Ohm’s law when the resistance of the device is independent of the magnitude and polarity of the applied potential difference. Otherwise, it does not obey Ohm’s law.

• Resistors obey the Ohm’s law.• Diodes do not obey the Ohm’s law.


Power in Electric Circuits The figure below shows a circuit consisting of

a battery, connected by wires to an unspecified conducting device.

The wires are assumed to have negligible resistance.

The unspecified device might be a resistor, a rechargeable battery, a motor, or some other electrical device.

The rate at which energy is transferred from the battery to the unspecified device is given by:P Vi1watt 1W 1V A 1volt ampere

• Rate of electrical energy transfer

W Pt

1 joule 1 J 1W s 1watt s ...kWh

• Electrical energy transfer or electrical work


Power in Electric Circuits The principle of conservation of energy tells

us that the decrease in electric potential energy from a to b is accompanied by a transfer of energy to some other form.

If the unspecified device is a motor, the energy is transferred as work done on the load.

If the device is a rechargeable battery that is being charged, the energy is transferred to stored chemical energy in the storage battery.

If the device is a resistor, the energy is transferred to internal thermal energy, tending to increase the resistor’s temperature.

CheckpointA potential difference V is connected across a device with resistance R, causing current i through the device. Rank the following variations according to the change in the rate at which electrical energy is converted to thermal energy due to the resistance, greatest change first:(a) V is doubled with R unchanged(b) i is doubled with R unchanged(c) R is doubled with V unchanged(d) R is doubled with i unchanged

• The power dissipated by the wire cut in half is four times the power dissipated by the full wire.

• Advantage: The heating time reduced to one-fourth.

• Disadvantage: The current is doubled, may destroy the wire

Work, Energy, and Emf Charge carriers will only flow through a conductor if we

establish a potential difference between its two ends. To produce a steady flow of charge, we need a “charge

pump”, a device that maintains a potential difference between a pair of terminals by doing work and the charge carriers.

Such a device is called an electromotive force device (emf device).

Emf devices come in various kinds. All transform one source of energy into electrical energy.

A common emf device is the battery, electric generator, solar cells, and fuel cells.

Energy Transfers in the Circuit

• A and B are two ideal rechargeable batteries, R is a resistance, and M is an electric motor that can lift an object.

• EB > EA, so battery B determines the direction of current.

• Battery B is charging battery A. It also provides energy to motor M and energy that is being dissipated by resistance R.


Single-Loop Circuit

Suppose we start at any point in the circuit above and proceed in either direction.

As we move, we add algebraically the potential differences that we encounter.

When we return to our starting point, we must also have returned to our starting potential.

Circuit Loop Hiking Loop

Loop RuleThe algebraic sum of the changes in potential encountered in a complete path of any loop of a circuit must be zero.


Single-Loop Circuit Resistance Rule

For a move through a resistance in the direction of the current, the change in potential is –iR (downhill); in the opposite direction +iR (uphill)

Emf RuleFor a move through an ideal emf device in the direction of the emf arrow, the change in potential is +E; in the opposite direction –E.

• Clockwise move, starting from a0iR E

• Counterclockwise move, starting from a0iR E


CheckpointThe figure shows the current i in a single-loop circuit with a battery B and a resistance R (and wires of negligible resistance). (a) Should the emf arrow at B be drawn pointing leftward or

rightward?

Rightward, the same as the direction of current

At points a, b, and c, rank (greatest first): (b) The magnitude of the current(c) The electric potential

E

All the same b, then a and c tie


Ideal and Real Battery The figure below left shows a real battery, with internal

resistance r, wired to an external resistor of resistance R. The internal resistance r of the battery is the electrical

resistance of the materials that build the battery and thus unremovable.

If we apply the loop rule clockwise beginning at point a, the changes in potential give us:

0ir iR E iR r

E • For ideal battery, r = 0

• In ideal battery, there is no potential drop across the battery

Potential Difference Between Two Points To find the potential between any two points in a circuit, we

start at one point and go through the circuit to the other point, following any path.

Along the way, the changes in potential we encounter must be added algebraically.

The voltage difference is independent of the path chosen.

Ammeter and Voltmeter An instrument used to measure current is called an ammeter.

It should be connected serially, means the current to be measured must pass through the meter.

An instrument used to measure potential difference is called a voltmeter. To find the potential difference between any two points, the voltmeter should be connected in parallel, means the voltmeter terminals are connected between those points.
