Study Notes
Ohm's Law
- Current is directly proportional to the electric field, as described by Ohm's law.
- Ohm's law is represented by the equation: V = IR, where V is voltage, I is current, and R is resistance.
- Resistance is constant under a given temperature and material conditions in the context of Ohm's law.
- Materials that do not obey Ohm’s law are referred to as non-ohmic materials.
The Drude Model
- The Drude model conceptualizes electrons as particles interacting elastically, akin to pinballs among ions.
- In this model, the average drift velocity of electrons is directly proportional to the electric field applied.
Historical Contributions to Electrical Theory
- In 1781, experiments using Leyden jars and glass tubes filled with salt solution to measure current were conducted by Luigi Galvani.
- In 1814, Alessandro Volta characterized 'intensity' (voltage) and 'quantity' (current) for the dry pile.
- Georg Simon Ohm published 'Die galvanische Kette, mathematisch bearbeitet' in 1827, contributing foundational knowledge to electrical circuit theory.
- The Drude model of electrical conduction was proposed by Paul Drude in 1900, marking a significant advancement in understanding electron behavior in materials.
