Q.1 Define curr CURRENT ELECTRICITY ent electricity. The branch of physics which deals with charges in motion is called current electricity or electrodynamics. e.g (i) A light bulb glows to the flow of electric current.

Current Direction Early scientists regarded an electric current as a flow of positive charge from positive to negative terminal of the battery through an extemal circuit. Later on, it was found that a current in metallic conductors is actually due to the flow of negative charge carriers called electrons moving in the opposite direction i.e., from negative to positive terminal of the battery, but it is a convention to take the direction of current as the direction in which positive charge flow. This current is referred as conventional current The reason is that it has been found experimentally that positive charge moving in one direction is equivalent in all extemal effects to a negative charge moving in the opposite direction. As the current is measured by its external effects so a current due to motion of negative charges, after reversing its direction of How can be substituted by an equivalent current due to flow of positive charges. Thus “the ventional current in a cireuit is defined as that equivalent current which passes from a point at higher potential (+ve) to a point charges”. lower potential (-ve) as if it represented a movement of positive Q.3 Describe the current through a metallic conductor. CURRENT THROUGH A M ALLIC CONDUCTOR [CHAPTER 13] CURRENT ELECTRICITY 53 In a metal, the valence electrons are not attached to individu: atoms but are free to move about within the body. These electrons are known as free electrons. The free electrons are in random motion just like the molecules of a gas in a container and they act as charge carriers in metals. The speed of randomly moving electrons depends upon temperature, If we consider any section of metallic wire, the rate at which the free electrons pass through it from right to left is the same as the rate at which they pass from left to right as shown, As a result the current through the wire is zero. If the ends of the wire are connected ~ to a battery, an clectrie ficld E will be setup at every point within the wire. The free electrons will now experience a force in the direction > opposite to E. As a result of this force the free electrons acquire a > motion in the direction of ~E. It may be noted that the force experienced by the free electrons does not produce a net acceleration because the electrons keep on colliding with the atoms of the conductor. The overall effect of these collisions is to transfer the energy of accelerating electrons to the lattice with the result that the clectrons acquire an average velocity, called the drift velocity in the direction of-Fit may be defined as the velocity of the free electrons in the direction drift or effectively in the direction opposite to that of electric field in metal. The drift velocity is of the order of 10~> ms“! at room temperature. Due to their thermal motion is several hundred kilometers per second. Thus, when an clectric field is established in a conductor, the free electrons modify their random motion in such a way that they drift slowly in a direction opposite to the field, In other words the electrons, in addition to their violent thermal motion, acquire a constant drift velocity duc to which a net directed motion of charges takes place along the wire and a current begins to flow through it. A steady current is established in a wire when a constant potential difference is ma + ned across it which generates the requisite electric field E along the wire Electron flow Connecting Metal Fy Qretot ascites tortie tolow pares Q.4 Describe the source of current. SOURCE OF CURRENT [CHAPTER 13] CURRENT ELECTRICITY 54 To have a constant current the potential difference across the conductor should be maintained constant. This is achieved by => connecting the ends of wire to the terminals of a device called a source nt Electron: | of current. The source of current which converts some non-electrical energy such as, chemical, mechanical, heat or solar energy into electrical energy is called source of current, There are many types of sources of currents, For example: * Cells which convert chemical energy into electrical energy Types of Cells Fig. A source of current such as (i) Primary cells: Cells which cannot be recharged. battery maintains a nearly . constant potential difference between ends of a conductor. (ii) Secondary cells: Cell which ean recha Electric generators which convert: mechanical energy into electrical energy Thermocouples which convert heat ene into electrical energy. Solar energy which convert sunlight di to electrical ener What are the effects of current EFFECTS OF CURRENT The presence of electric current can be detected by various effects it produces. There are three types (i) Heat (i) Heating Effect geffect (ii) Magnetic effect. (iii), Chemical effeet Current flow through a metallic wire due to motion of free electrons. During the course of their motion, they collide frequently with atoms of metal. At cach collision, they lose some of their K,E and give it to atoms with which they collide. Thus as current flows through wire, it increases K.E of vibrations of the metal atoms i.e.. it generates heat in the wire. Heat produced by a current I in the wire of resistane R during a time interval t is given by =F Heating effect of current is used| a eT lin electric kettle. [CHAPTER 13] CURRENT ELECTRICITY 55 Uses: Heating effect of current is utilized in electric heaters, kettles, 1 toaster and electric iron (ii) Magnetic Effect The passage of current is always accompanied by am; field in the surrounding space. The strength of field depends upon the uurrent and the distance from the current element. The pattern eld produced by a current carrying straight wire, a coil or solenoid is as shown. netic value of of the f Uses: All the machines involving electric motors also use magnetic effect of current (ii) Chemical Effeet Certain liquids such as dilute sulphuric acid (11:04) or copper sulphate (CuSO,) solution conduct electricity due to some chemical reactions that take place within them, The study of this process is known as electrolysis, The chemical changes produced during the electrolysis of a liquid are duc to chemical effects of the current. It 7 Siem 7 depends upon the nature of the liquid and the quantity of electricity t : passed through the liquid The liquid which conducts current is known as ef yte. The material in the form of wire or rod or plate which leads the current into or out of the electrolyte is known as electrode. The electrode connected with the positive terminal of the current source is called anode and that connected with negative terminal is known as cathode. The vessel containing the two electrodes and the liquid is known as voltameter. -xample We will consider the electrolysis of copper sulphate solution, The voltameter contains dilute solution of copper sulphate. The anode and cathode are both copper plates. Whei copper sulphate is dissolved in water, it dissociates into Cu’ and $Oj ions. On pa: the cathode and the following reaction takes place. ing current through the voltameter.

Also define ohmic and non-ohmic substance OHM’S LAW Introduction (CHAPTER 13] CURRENT ELECTRICITY 56 When a battery is connected across a conductor, an electric current begins to flow through the conductor. A German physicist George Simon Ohm showed by experiments that the current through the metalli¢ conduetor is directly proportional to the potential difference across its ends. This fact is known as Ohm’s law Statement This law states that “The current flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference across its ends provided the physical states such as temperature of the conductor remains unchanged”, Mathematically If V is the voltage applied across the ends of the conductor and the current [is flowing through it therefore by ohm’s law Tpean cn VOT ren Vane ca Vv IR where R is constant of proportionally called the resistance of the conductor. The value of the resistance depends upon the nature, dimensions and the physical state of the conductor. It may be defined as the opposition offered by the conductor to the flow of charges ie., free electrons due to their continuous collisions against the atoms of the lattice. Unit The SI unit of resistance is “ohm”. It is represented by Q. Ohm “Ifa current of one ampere flows through any cross-section of a conductor due to a potential difference of one volt applied across its ends then resistance of conductor is said to be one ohm.” ~ Vv As R 1 Vv 12 = 4K [CHAPTER 13] CURRENT ELECTRICITY 57 A conductor is said to obey ohm’s law if its resistance remains constant ie., graph between V and Lis a straight line, as shown in figure Ohmic A conductor which strictly obeys ohm’s law is called ohmic. Example Metals, Non-ohmic There are devices which do not obey ohm’s law, are called non-ohmic devices. Example Filament of bulbs and semiconductor diodes are non- ohmic devices. Explanation Let us apply a certain potential difference across the terminals of filament lamp and measure the resulting current passing through it. If we repeat the measurement for different values of potential difference and draw a graph of voltage V versus current I, it will be seen that graph is not straight line. It means that filament is non-ohmic device. The deviation of V — I graph from straight line is due to the increase in the resistance of the filament with temperature. As the current passing through a filament is increased from zero, the graph is straight line in the initial stage because change in the resistance of filament with temperature due to small current is not appreciable. As the current is further increased, the resistance due to rise in temperature is increased. Another example of non-ohmic device isa semiconductor diode. The current-voltage graph of such a diode is shown in figure. As the graph is not straight line, so semi-conductor is also a non-ohmie device.

DEPENDENCE UPON TEMPERATURE ed by a conductor is due to the collision of free electrons with the lattice atoms of metal. When temperature of the conductor increases then lattice atoms start vibrating with greater amplitude and this form a bigger target area for the flowin electrons. So the probability of the collisions of fr lattice atoms increases. This makes the collision between tree electrons and the atoms more frequent and hence resistance of the conductor increases Resistance of of free electrons with the Conversely when temperature decreases then lattice atoms vibrate with smaller amplitude presenting smaller target area and this, deci aases the probability of collisions between the lattice atoms and fiee electrons. This makes collisions less frequent and hence resistance of the conductor increases [CHAPTER 13] CURRENT ELECTRICITY 60 Temperature Coefficient of Resistance Definition The fractional change in the resistance per kelvin temperature is known as temperature coefficient of resistance.

However such a method fails in the case of complex networks consisting of a number of resistors, and a number of voltage sources. Problems of such networks can be solved by a system of analysis which is based upon two rules, known as Kirchhoff's rules. Q.14 State and explain Kirchhoff’s first rule. KIRCHHOFF’S FIRST RULE Statement [CHAPTER 13] CURRENT ELECTRICITY 67 It states that “the sum of all the currents flowing towards a point is equal to the sum of all the currents owing away from the point” (OR) “The sum of all the currents meeting at a point in the circuit is zero” Mathematically ie, rro-0 (i) It is a convention that current flowing towards a point is taken as positive and that flowing away from the point is taken as negative.

Q.17 Describe potentiometer with ie] POTENTIOMETER Introduction Potential difference is usually measured by an instrument called a voltmeter. The voltmeter is connected across the two points in a cireuit between which potential difference is to be measured. It is necessary that the resistance of the voltmeter must be large as compare to the circuit resistance across which the voltmeter is connected. Otherwise an appreciable current will flow through the voltmeter which will alter the circuit current and the potential difference to be measured. Thus the voltmeter can read the correct potential difference only when it does not draw any current from the circuit across which it is connected. An ideal voltmeter would have an infinite resistance However, th suring and cathode ray oscilloscope which practically do not draw any current from the circuit because of their lar resistance and are very accurate potential measuring instruments. But these instruments are very expensive and are difficult 10 use. A very simple instrument which can measure and compare potential differences accurately is a potentiometer je are some potential m nstruments such as digital voltmet A very simple electrical instrument which can measure and compare potential differences without drawing any current from the circuit is called potentiometer Principle The potential difference across any wire of length Land uniform area of cross section A, is directly proportional to its length when constant current flows through it BE o«L s ler A potentiometer is consist of a resistor R in the form of a wire, on which a terminal C ean slide shown in figure, Function (i) As Potential Divider The resistance between A and C can be varied from zero to Ras the sliding contact C is moved from A to B. If a battery of emf EF is connected across R. The current flowing through it is E 'o-R It the resistance between A and C is r, the potential drop across these points will be Vac > Ir Putting the value of I, we [CHAPTER 13] CURRENT ELECTRICITY 7 (ii) To Measure Unknown emf of a Cell To measure the unknown emf of a source by using a circuit shown in figure. Here R is in the form of a straight wire of jon A. A cell whose emf Ey is to be a measured is connected between A and C through a galvanometer G. It should be noted that +ve terminal of Ey and that of the E potential divider are connected to the same point A. If in the loop +—& uniform area of cross-s Q o ® AGCA, the point C and the —ve terminal of E, are at the same potential then the two terminals of the galvanometer will be at bn same potential and no current will flow through the galvanometer. Go Therefore to measure the potential Ey. the position of C is so adjusted that the galvanometer shows no deflection, Under this B 400 cm ot a condition Ey = R E 300 ct If L, is total length from A to B and ‘is length of wire between AC, 100 cm. Therefore unknown emf is given by ! EO =e It can be seen that the unknown emf Ey is determined when no current is drawn from it and therefore, potentiometer is one of the most accurate methods for measuring potential To Compare the emf of Two Cells soo To compare the emfS E, and F2 of two cells we use the circuit diagram as shown. the balancing lengths fy and fs are found c separately for the two cells, then 5] 4 Ls E L a pg E (ii) as cs +@ So the ratio of the emf is equal to the ratio of the balancing lengths (CHAPTER 13] CURRENT ELECTRICITY 72 SOLVED EXAMPLES ‘NAMPLE 13.1 1.0 x 10” electrons pass through a conductor in 1.0 1s.

What is the effect on the drift velocity of free electron by? Increasing the potential difference. Decreasing the length and the temperature of the wire. As we know that the drift velocity of fi difference i.e. trons is directly proportional to the potential Therefore if pot increases, tial difference is increases then the drift velocity of free electrons is also (ii) As the resistance depends (ie., directly proportional) upon temperature and length of the conductor, So on decreasing the temperature and length of the conductors, the resistance decreases. So drift velocity increases. Do bends in a wire affect its cl al resistance? Expla The resistance of conductor of length L and cross-sectional area A is given by pL us A Where p is the resi cross-si remain same. stivity whose value depends upon the nature of the conductor.

Thus in this figure 1“ band in brown 2" band in green = 5 3" band is red 2 No of zeros= 00 4" band is gold which shows tolerance = +5% So the actual value of resistance = 1500+ 5% Figure B 1" band is yellow = 4 2"™ band is white = 9 [CHAPTER 13] CURRENT ELECTRICITY 52 13.4 Ans. 13.5 Ans. 13.7 Ans. 3" band is orange No of zeros 000 4" band is silver = Which shows tolerance = +10% So the actual resistance = 49000 10% Tolerance Tolerance means the possible variation from the marked value. For example. 1500Q resistance with a tolerance of £5% will have an actual value of resistance b/w 1425 to 1575, Why does the resistance of a conductor rise with temperature? As we know that resistance offered by a conductor to the flow of current is due to the collisions, of free electrons with atoms of lattice. As temperature of the conductor rises, the amplitude of vibration of the atoms in the lattice increases and hence the probability of their collisions with free electrons also increases. Hence resistance of conductor rise with temperature What are the difficulties in te ting whether the filament of a lighted bulb obeys Ohm’s law? According to Ohm’s law current is directly proportional to applied potential difference providing physical state of conductor must remain constant therefore when current passes through the filament of bulb, initially the temperature of filament is low and its resi hence filament Obey’s Ohm’s law but with the passage of time, its temperature increases, so resistance of filament increases therefore Ohms law is not valid due to increase in temperature Is the filament resistance lower or higher in a 500W, 220 V light bulb than in a 100W, 220V bulb? \ce remains constant As we know that V Pos As P R = .

From the equation we sce that as we move from B to A the potential difference will change from zero to V. Explain why the terminal potential drawn from it is increased? ference of a battery decreases when the current We know that the relation between terminal potential difference and emf is Vv, = E-h Here ris the internal resistance of cell. It is clear that when current 1 is large, the factor Ir becomes large and V, becomes small. Thus the potential difference of a battery decreases when current drawn from it increases.
