relation between current & drift velocity
consider a conductor of length(l) & cross sectional area (a)
volume of the conductor =A×l
if n be the number of free electron per unit volume
then total number of free electrons=n×A×l
total charge in the conductor q= n×A×l×e (due to all free electron)
now time taken by electron to cross the length (l) of the conductor
t=l/vd where vd is drift velocity of the electrons
I =q/t or I = (n×e×A×l×vd) /l or I =n×e×A×vd
since n, A, e are constant.
so I { vd
hence current flowing in a conductor is directly proportional to the drift velocity.
Deduction of ohm's law
the drift velocity is given by
vd =(e×E×T) /m =(e×v×T) /ml
also I= n×e×A×vd =( n×e×A×e×v×T) /ml
or v/l= (m×l) /n×e^2×T×A
at fixed temp. m, l, n, e, T & A are all constant for a given conductor
therefore v/l =constant=R, this is ohm's law
where R=(m×l) /(n×e^2×T×A) is constant for a given conductor
it is know as resistance of conductor.
it is clear that resistance of the conductor depends upon:
1.shape &size of the conductor
2.nature of the material of the conductor.
3.physical condition of the conductor.
Resistivity in terms of electron density & relaxation time
we know R= (p×l) /A
and R= (m×l) / (n×e^2×T×A)
compare these two eq.
we get p= m/(n×e^2×T)
that means p (resistivity) depends n & T
further we can say that p depends on nature of the material & physical condition. it doesn't depends upon the shape & size of the conductor
current density (J)
current per unit cross sectional area is called current density .
J= I/A or J= (n×e×A×vd) /A or J= n×e×vd
it is vector quantity
