1 Ohm’s Law and Resistivity

2 Current “Flow” of charges per second
Actual speed of an electron is called the “drift speed”

3 Conceptual Current E

4 Current Equation

5 Conductivity and Resistivity
The ability of a material to conduct charges is measured by σ which is the conductivity. The inverse of conductivity is ρ which is the resistivity. The unit of resistivity is the Ω·m.

6 Ohm’s Law Many materials exhibit a linear relationship between I and V for a given R. Such materials are referred to as “ohmic” and follow the equation:

7 Ohmic Non-ohmic V V slope = R I I

8 Resistance and Temperature
Resistance of a conductor directly related to Temperature

9 R vs T (normal conductor)

10 R vs T (Superconductor)
