CURRENT ELECTRICITY
In electrostatics we have completed the properties associated with a charge at rest. But in this chapter
we will discuss the property of charge in motion which is called electric current.
Types of electric current.
1. Direct current (dc)
2. Alternating current (ac)
In this chapter we will only deal with dc.
Electric current
Time rate of flow of electric charge through cross section is called electric current.
(A) Average electric current
If Q charge flow through a cross section in time interval Dt then average current is defined as

DQ
Iavg =
Dt

(B) Instantaneous electric current


The value of electric current at a particular instant is called instantaneous electric current.

Points
Direction of electric current is in the direction of flow of (+)ve charge or in the direction of electric
field.
In other words we can say direction of electric current is just opposite to the direction of flow of (–)
ve charge particles.
Electric current is also known as conventional current.
Conventional current

All these electric current have both magnitude and direction but not considered as vector quantity it
does not follow law of vector addition.
Charge carriers
Without charge carriers electric current is not possible

Intrinsic properties of a conducter in terms of free e –

(1) Average thermal speed or r.m.s. speed (Vth or Vrms)


At room temperature a conductor absorbes thermal energy from surrounding becouse of that their
usually bounded e– with the atoms get free and moves randomly inside the conductor with facing so
many collsions. In this way the average speed of on e– is defined as thermal speed.

The average distance travelled by an e– between two succesive collisions is called mean free path.

Total distan ce travelled


l av =
No.of collision

The order of lav is about 10Å or 10–9m


(3) Relaxation time (t av )
Time consumed by one e– between two successive collsion is called relexation time.

Total time between two collision for all e -

On applying potential difference across a conductor we get an electric field inside the conductor due
to which all free e– experience electrostatic force in the direction opposite to the applied field.
due to this force e– get accelerated and during motion they face so many collision on their path. In
this way they travel with a average velocity opposite to the direction of applied field.

DRIFT VELOCITY (vd)

The average velocity by which the e– are drifting opposite to the direction of applied electric field due
to potential difference inside a conductor is called as drift velocity of electrons.

order of V d is about 10 –4 m/s

Note :
(1) Electric field due to current carrying conductor outside the wire is zero.
(2) Inside the wrie is non zero.

CURRENT DENSITY (J)
Electric current is defined as rate flow of charge through a cross section that is a macrolevel study.
But the study of current in terms of direction as well as magnitude through a very small cross section
is a micro level study. We introduces a new physical quantity that is called current density.

Definition Þ "Electric current flowing through per unit cross section which is put perpendiculary on
its path is called current density through that cross section.

TEMPERATURE DEPENDENCE OF RESISTIVITY AND RESISTANCE


The resistivity of a material is found to be dependent on the temperature over a limited range of temperatures
(not too large). The resistivity of a metallic conductor is approximately given by
rT = r0[1 + a(T – T0)]
Where rT is the resistivity at a temperature T and r0 is the resistivity at a reference temperature T0. Here, a is
called the temperature co-efficient of resistivity.

Potential difference

TERMINAL POTENTIAL DIFFERENCE-


It is the potential difference across the terminal of the cell
EMF [Electro motive force]- It is the terminal potential difference across the cell when no current is
flowing though it .
® It is measured only by potentiometer.
® It depends on (i) Nature of electrolyte
(ii) Electrode
Internal Resistance (r)- It is the resistance offered by electrolytes inside cell.
It depends on (i) Temperature ® on increasing temperature, mobility of ions increases. Thus, resistance
decreases.
(ii) Concentration ® On increasing concentration, mobility of ion decreases hence, resistance increases.
(iii) Area of electrode ® On increasing area, resistance decreases
(iv) Separation between the electrodes, on increasing separation, resistance increases.
