Resistance
The electrical resistance of an electrical conductor is the opposition to the passage of an electric current through that conductor
Temperature coefficient of resistance
αΔT = ΔR/R₀
ΔR = αR₀ΔT
Question
Question A copper wire has a resistance of 400 Ω at
0o C1, Calculate the resistance at 30oC if the
temperature coefficient of copper is 0.0043/oC
superconductors
If mercury is cooled below 4.1 K, it loses all electric resistance
The critical temperature for superconductors is the temperature at which the electrical resistivity of a metal drops to zero. The transition is so sudden and complete that it appears to be a transition to a different phase of matter;. Several materials exhibit superconducting phase transitions at low temperatures.
The thermistors we normallyrefer to are NTC where the resistance increases when thetemperature decreases
PTC thermistor resistorsIncrease resistance with Increasing temperature
In the above test the open circuit The open circuit voltage was measured. The decade box was then set to a maximum and connected as the load. The resistance of the box was reduced so that the voltage across it decreased by 10% each time. From this information the load current and the power in the load was calculated for each voltage.Graphs of load voltage VL against load current IL and power in the load PL against load resistance RL were plotted.

The peak (maximum power) is where the load resistance is equal to the internal resistance of the source

VI
Using Kirchoff’s second Law The sum of all the PD’s around the circuit is equal to the e.m.f. of the source. If the load resistance is equal to the internal resistance then the PD across each must be the same. Thus VL must be half the e.m.f. of the cell
This means that maximum power is obtained when the load resistance is equal to the internal resistance. As was show in the experiment
The need for Maximum power transfer is when there is a high source impedance and power is scarce. This is contrasted to when power is abundant (i.e. low source impedance)and a constant voltage is available Power is inversely proportional to load resistance.That is the higher the load resistance the lower the power
Basic voltage divider circuit
V out = V in x R2/ R1 +R2
Internal or source resistance is always less thanthe lowest of R1 or R2 When measured in a half voltage test
This system is effectively a variable voltage divider

Capacitors
Capacitance is typified by a parallel plate arrangement and is defined in terms of charge storage:
Capacitors
A dielectric is an electrical insulator that can be polarized by an applied electric field. When a dielectric is placed in an electric field
Capacitors
A dielectric is an electrical insulator that can be polarized by an applied electric field. When a dielectric is placed in an electric field, electric charges do not flow through the material as they do in a conductor but only slightly shift from their average equilibrium positions causing dielectric polarization.
Capacitors
Capacitors
In an insulating material, the maximum electric field strength that it can withstand intrinsically without breaking down, i.e., without experiencing failure of its insulating properties. Field strength E = V/d
V = potential across the platesD = distance between the plates

a) Calculate the dielectric strength of the material
b) Describe what happens in the material when the rupture occurs
c) Explain why a solid insulator with a hairline crack through it breaks down at a lower voltage than the rated voltage
Permittivity
The permittivity of a substance is a characteristic which describes how it affects any electric field set up in it. A high permittivity tends to reduce any electric field present. We can increase the capacitance of a capacitor by increasing the permittivity of the dielectric material.
Permittivity
The permittivity of free space (or a vacuum), e0, has a value of 8.9 × 10-12 F m-1.
The absolute permittivity ε of all other insulating materials is greater than ε0.
The ratio ε / ε0 is called relative permittivity of the material and is denoted by K (or εr).
K = ε / ε0 = Absolute permittivity of medium /

Energy stored in a capacitor
The energy stored in a capacitor can be expressed as
W = 1/2 C V2 (1)
where
W = energy stored (Joules)
C = capacitance (Farad)
V = potential difference (Voltage)

Variable capacitor
A variable capacitor is a capacitor whose capacitance may be intentionally and repeatedly changed mechanically or electronically
Variable capacitor
Types of variable capacitors
Mechanically controlled In mechanically controlled variable capacitors, the distance between the plates, or the amount of plate surface area which overlaps, can be changed
Variable capacitor
Electronically controlledThe thickness of the depletion layer of a
reverse-biased semiconductor diode varies with the DC voltage applied across the diode. Any diode exhibits this effect (including p/n junctions in transistors)
Their use is limited to low signal amplitudes
Variable capacitor
Transducers
In a capacitor microphone (commonly known as a condenser microphone), the diaphragm acts as one plate of a capacitor, and vibrations produce changes in the distance between the diaphragm and a fixed plate, changing the voltage maintained across the capacitor plates.
An air-spaced variable capacitor has semi-circular plates. Minimum capacitance is 20pF (at 0°)and maximum capacitance is 400pF when the shaft is rotated 180°.
a) Sketch a graph of capacitance against angle of rotation of the shaft
b) Calculate the capacitance when the shaft is rotated 90°
c) Calculate the maximum capacitance if a polymer film of relative permittivity 2.3 is placed inthe airspace between the plates

Magnetism
Solenoid
Magnetic field strength equation in a coil H = (NI) / l
where: H = magnetic field strength (ampere per metre) I = current flowing through coil (amperes) N = number of turns in coil l = length of magnetic circuit
Magnetic Flux
The rate of flow of magnetic energy across or through a (real or imaginary) surface. The unit of flux is the Weber (Wb)
Magnetic Flux Density
A measure of the amount of magnetic flux in a unit area perpendicular to the direction of magnetic flow, or the amount of magnetism induced in a substance placed in the magnetic field.
The SI unit of magnetic flux density is the Tesla, (T).
One Tesla, (1T), is equivalent to one weber per square metre (1 Wb/ m2).
Magnetism
The relationship between magnetic field strength and magnetic flux density is:
B = H × µ
where µ is the magnetic permeability of the substance
Magnetism
Permeability Is a measure of how easily a magnetic field can set up in a material It is the ratio of the flux density of the magnetic field within the material to its field strength. µ =B/HPermeabilty of free space µo is 4Pi x10-7 H/m
Magnetism
Relative Permeablity µr
This is how much more permeable the material is compared to free space (a vacuum). The permeability of the material can be calculated by multiplying its relative permeability by the permeability of free space.
µ = µo x µr
Magnetism
The magnetomotive force in an inductor or electromagnet consisting of a coil of wire is given by:
F = NI where N is the number of turns of wire in the coil and I is the current in the wire. The equation for the magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit, sometimes known as Hopkinson's law, is:
F = ΦR
where Φ is the magnetic flux and is the reluctance of the magnetic circuit
Magnetism
The magnetic flux density , B, multiplied by the area swept out by a conductor, A, is called the magnetic flux, Φ.
Φ = BAUnits of flux: weber, Wb.
‘Hard’ and ‘soft’ magnetic materials
Hard magnets, such as steel, are magnetised, but afterwards take a lot of work to de-magnetise. They're good for making permanent magnets, for example.
Soft magnets are the opposite. With an example being iron, they are magnetised, but easily lost their magnetism, be it through vibration or any other means. These are best for things that only need to be magnetised at certain points, eg magnetic fuse/trip switch.
Retentivity – A measure of the residual flux density corresponding to the saturation induction of a magnetic material. In other words, it is a material's ability to retain a certain amount of residual magnetic field when the magnetizing force is removed after achieving saturation
Residual Magnetism or Residual Flux - the magnetic flux density that remains in a material when the magnetizing force is zero.
Coercive Force - The amount of reverse magnetic field which must be applied to a magnetic material to make the magnetic flux return to zero. (The value of H at point c on the hysteresis curve
Magnetism
Starting with the concept of molecular magnets in a magnetic material, explain
a) Relative permeability of a material
b) Loss of magnetisation in a ‘soft’ material
c) Magnetic saturation
Magnetism
a) Relative permeability of a material, molecular magnets align with applied field
b) Loss of magnetisation in a ‘soft’ material, molecular magnets take up random alignment
c) Magnetic saturation, molecular magnets all aligned in field direction
Right hand rule
Moving a conductor through a magnetic field can induce an emf. The faster the conductor moves through the field the greater the emf and hence the greater the current

Inducing a current in a coil
Pushing a magnet into a coil induces a current in the coil wire
Pulling the magnet out of the coil induces a current in the opposite direction
Inductors
If an Alternating Current is passed through the coil an alternating magnetic field is produced which in turn produces a back emf given by the equation E = -l dI/dtIn a purely inductive circuit the applied pd leads the current by 90o
An inductor which has zero resistance is called pure Inductance
This type of device is called and Inductor
Inductance of a Solenoid
This means that the inductance L of a solenoid is directly proportional to the
number of turns squared and the area.
It is inversely proportional to the length of the solenoid
It is also directly proportional to μo and μr

LCR Circuits
The resonance of a series RLC circuit occurs when the inductive and capacitive reactances are equal in magnitude but cancel each other because they are 180 degrees apart in phase. The sharp minimum in impedance which occurs is useful in tuning applications. The sharpness of the minimum depends on the value of R and is characterized by the "Q" of the circuit
