  1. Basic Laws Ohm’s Law

  2. Objective of Lecture • Describe how material and geometric properties determine the resistivity and resistance of an object. • Chapter 2.1 • Explain the relationship between resistance, current, and voltage (Ohms Law). • Chapter 2.1 • Discuss what a short circuit and open circuit mean using Ohms Law. • Chapter 2.1 • Explain the relationship between resistance and conductance. • Chapter 2.1 • Derive the various equations used to calculate the power dissipated by a resistor. • Chapter 2.1

  3. Resistivity, r • Resistivity is a material property • Dependent on the number of free or mobile charges (usually electrons) in the material. • In a metal, this is the number of electrons from the outer shell that are ionized and become part of the ‘sea of electrons’ • Dependent on the mobility of the charges • Mobility is related to the velocity of the charges. • It is a function of the material, the frequency and magnitude of the voltage applied to make the charges move, and temperature.

  4. Resistivity of Common Materials at Room Temperature (300K)

  5. Resistance, R • Resistance takes into account the physical dimensions of the material where: L is the length along which the carriers are moving A is the cross sectional area that the free charges move through.

  6. Ohm’s Law Voltage drop across a resistor is proportional to the current flowing through the resistor Units: V = AW where A = C/s

  7. Short Circuit If the resistor is a perfect conductor (or a short circuit) R = 0 W, then v = iR = 0 V no matter how much current is flowing through the resistor

  8. Open Circuit If the resistor is a perfect insulator, R = ∞ W then no matter how much voltage is applied to (or dropped across) the resistor. A

  9. Conductance, G • Conductance is the reciprocal of resistance G = R-1 = i/v Unit for conductance is S (siemens) or (mhos) G = As/L where s is conductivity, which is the inverse of resistivity, r

  10. Power Dissipated by a Resistor p = iv = i(iR) = i2R p = iv = (v/R)v = v2/R p = iv = i(i/G) = i2/G p = iv = (vG)v = v2G

  11. Power (con’t) • Since R and G are always real positive numbers • Power dissipated by a resistor is always positive • The power consumed by the resistor is not linear with respect to either the current flowing through the resistor or the voltage dropped across the resistor • This power is released as heat. Thus, resistors get hot as they absorb power (or dissipate power) from the circuit.

  12. Short and Open Circuits • There is no power dissipated in a short circuit. • There is no power dissipated in an open circuit.

  13. Summary • Resistivity is a fundamental material property while the material properties and the geometry of the component determine its resistance. • Ohms Law: The force required to have a specific current flow through a resistor is given by v = i R. • This is an important relationship (learn it). • There is zero power associated with short circuit and open circuit since a short circuit has no voltage drop and an open circuit has no current flowing across it. • Conductance (conductivity) is the inverse of resistance (resistivity).

  14. Summary (con’t) • The power dissipated by a resistor can be written as: • The power dissipated by a resistor is not linear with either the voltage across the resistor or the current flowing through the resistor.
