- RESISTOR, RESISTANCE + BASIC ELECTRONICCIRCUITS
- KIRCHOFF'S LAWS
- CURRENT LAW
- "Sum of currents in a network of conductors meeting at any node = ZERO."
- I1 + I2 + I3 + I4 = 0
- VOLTAGE LAW
- "Sum of all voltage drops + sources around any loop = ZERO."
- CURRENT LAW
- RESISTIVITY
- Resistance of an ohmic conductor...
- Proportional to LENGTH
- Inversely proportional to CROSS SECTIONAL AREA
- Resistivity = Resistance x cross-sectional area / length
- Resistance of an ohmic conductor...
- VOLTAGE DROP + CURRENT
- Current PROPORTIONAL to VOLTAGE.
- RESISTANCE
- Resistance = Voltage / Current
- R = V / I
- Ohm's Law
- Voltage = Current x Resistance
- V = IR
- R independent of V
- Collisions between electrons + fixed charges in material
- Voltage = Current x Resistance
- Units
- Volts per Ampere
- Admittance
- Reciprocal of resistance
- Y = 1 / R
- Reciprocal of resistance
- Resistance = Voltage / Current
- ORIGIN OF A MATERIAL'S RESISTANCE
- 1. Electrons move in conductor due to external potential
- 2. Electrons collide with the conductor's lattice
- 3. Energy lost and repeatedly re-accelerated by electric field
- 4. Collision process creates internal friction
- 3. Energy lost and repeatedly re-accelerated by electric field
- 2. Electrons collide with the conductor's lattice
- 1. Electrons move in conductor due to external potential
- RESISTANCES iN CIRCUITS
- SERIES
- Follows voltage law
- R = R1 + R2 + ... + Rn
- PARALLEL
- Follows current law
- 1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + ... + 1/Rn
- Follows current law
- SERIES
- RESISTIVITY OF CONDUCTORS
- Good conductors = LOW resistivity
- Insulators = HIGH resistivity
- KIRCHOFF'S LAWS
