CURRENT ELECTRICITY
Electric Current : The time rate of flow of
change through any cross section is called current

9T is denoted i. current is a scalar quantity unit is ampere (A)

I =

area .
and q =

Note: → if the moving charges are + ve
,
the current is in the direction of motion .




if the moving charges are -
ve , the current is opposite to the direction of motion .




CURRENT CARRIERS
• Solid : In solid conductors like metals current carriers are free electrons .





Liquids : In liquids current carriers are positive and negative ions .




• Gases : In gases current carriers are positive ions and free electrons .



• Semiconductor : In semiconductors current carriers are holes and free electrons .

:

, Thermal velocity : Free electrons in a metal move randomly with a very high speed
.




of the order of 105m Is ( when no external electric field is applied) This speed is called

Drift velocity
when a potential difference is applied across the ends of a conductor ,
the free electrons
in it move with an average velocity opposite to the direction of electric field , which is
called drift
