Today’s Goal
Electric Current
Drift Velocity
Electrical Resistance
Electric Current: Rate of flow of electric
charge
Average Current
Instantaneous Current
Direction of electric current is along the
direction of flow of positive charge
Electric current has direction but do not follow Vector
Law of Addition. Hence current is Scalar.
a) 40 A
b) 60 A
c) 80 A
d) 100 A
Q) If q = t2 + 2t Find i) Current i at t=2s
ii) Average current from 0-2s
Q) In a hydrogen atom, the electron makes about 0.6 x 1016
revolutions per second around the nucleus. Determine the
average current at any point on the orbit of the electron.
a) 0.36 mA
b) 0.96 mA
c) 0.60 mA
d) 0.24 mA
Drift Velocity
1. Metals have a large number of free electrons
(1028 free e- per m3 → free electron density)
a) 0.02
b) 0.03
c) 2
d) 3
