4.1 Electricity

4.1.1 Electric Current

An electric CURRENT exists whenever electric charge flows through a region,

e.g., a simple light bulb circuit.

The magnitude of the current is measured in AMPERES (Amps/A), where

1 ampere = 1 coulomb/second

I = ΔQ/ Δt

4.1 Electricity

4.1.2 Electromotive Force (emf) or Voltage (V)

Is the voltage produced by the energy supplied in an electrical circuit.

The unit is the volt (V).

A difference in charge between two points in a material can be created by an

external energy source such as a battery or generator.

TOPIC


TOPIC

4.1 Electricity

This causes electrons to move so that there is an excess of electrons at one

point and a deficiency of electrons at a second point.

This difference in charge is stored as electrical potential energy known as

emf. It is the emf that causes a current to flow through a circuit.

4.4 Band’s Theory

Band’s theory is an extension of molecular orbital theory that describes

bonding in solids.

Bands of orbital that are filled or partially filled by valence electrons are

called valence bands.

Higher-energy unoccupied bands in which electrons are free to migrate are

called conduction bands.

The energy gap between the valence and conduction bands is called the band

gap.

It does explain the differences in conductor, semiconductor, and insulator.

TOPIC

4.4 Band’s Theory

4.4.1 Conductor

As a potential difference is

applied across the sample, the

electrons in the partly filled band

can accelerate and gain energy

because there are unoccupied

states of higher energy available

and also no band gap.

It is therefore easy for a current

to flow, making it a good

conductor.

Conduction Band

4.4 Band’s Theory

4.4.2 Insulator

As a potential difference is

applied across the sample, the

electrons in the valence band

cannot accelerate and increase

their energy since there are no

empty states readily available

and also there is a large band

gap.

Such materials are therefore

insulators.

4.4 Band’s Theory

4.4.3 Semiconductor

The band structure of pure

(intrinsic) semiconductors is

similar to that of an insulator

except that the valence and

conduction bands are separated

by a smaller band gap Eg.

When a potential difference is

applied across the semiconductor

sample, the electrons in the

conduction band result in a

current flow.

4.5 Resistance (Ohm’s Law)

The magnitude of the electric current that flows through a closed circuit

depends directly on the voltage between the battery terminals and

inversely to the circuit resistance.

The relationship that connects current, voltage and resistance is known as

OHM'S LAW and is written as follows:

I = V/R or V = IR

The current is measured in amperes, the voltage in volts and the resistance in

ohms (Ώ).

4.6 Resistors

Resistors are used to control the amount of current flowing in a circuit.

Resistors have resistances from less than 1 ohm to millions of ohms.

The two main types of resistors:-

4.7 Resistivity

RESISTIVITY is actually when electric charge flows through a circuit it

encounters electrical RESISTANCE.

The resistance of a metal conductor is a property which depends on its

dimensions, material and temperature.

At a specific temperature, the resistance (R) of a metal wire of length (L) and

cross-sectional area (A) is given by:

R = ρ L/A

ρ is a constant of proportionality called the RESISTIVITY.

The unit of resistance is the ohm (Ώ) and the unit of resistivity is ohm-meter

Ώm.
