17. Atoms and their structure

18. Atomic Structure Mass of an Electron = 9.11 x 10-28 gm.
Mass of a Proton = x gm.
Proton is ~1836 times heavier than the electron

19. Atomic Structure Unit of Charge = Coulombs
Charge on electron = charge on a proton = 1.6 x C
1 Coulomb = Charge on x 1018 electrons

20. Coulomb’s Law Like charges repel, opposites attract F = k Q1 Q2 / r2
k = 9 x 109 (units?)

21. Coulomb’s Law Like charges repel, opposites attract F = k Q1 Q2 / r2
K = 9 x 109 N m2/C2

22. Conduction
In metals, the electrons are “more free” than the insulators.
Whenever there is a charge present at one end, the electrons flow to (or away) from that charge.

23. Current
Rate of flow of charge
1 Amp = 1 Coulomb / 1 Second.

24. Question
If a laptop constantly needs 2 Amps current from a battery, how many electrons are drained from the battery in one hour?
1 Amp = x 1018 electrons/second
2 Amp = x 1018 electrons/second
In one hour - > 3600 x x 1018 electrons
Answer is 4.49 x 1022 electrons

25. Question What’s the weight of all those electrons?
4.49 x 1022 x 9.11 x gm
4.09 x 10-5 gm

26. Equations
I = Q/ t
Q = I x t
t = Q/I

27. Examples
Find the current in amperes if 650 C of charge pass through a wire in 50 s.
If 465 C of charge pass through a wire in 2.5 min, find the current in amperes.
If a current of 40 A exists for 1 min, how many coulombs of charge have passed through the wire?

28. Example
Consider the plot of net positive charge moving past a point shown in Fig. Over the time interval 1 s ≤ t ≤ 3 s. Find i(t)

29. Potential
Every particle of mass m raised to a height h above the earth’s surface has a potential energy m.g.h
This potential energy can be raised by raising the particle a little higher
When the particle is set free, it travels to the point of least potential.

30. Electric Potential
Similarly, a charge wants to travel to a lower “electric” potential.
A negative charge on the other hand, wants to travel to a higher potential.
Each point in a circuit has a potential.

31. Voltage Voltage is always measured between two points.
It is defined as the difference of potential between the two points.
Measured in volts

32. Volts
1 volt is defined as the potential difference, which results in an energy exchange of 1 Joule due to the movement of 1 Coulomb across it.

direction of current flow

36. Resistance
Resistance is inversely proportional to the cross sectional area
direction of current flow
