What three things does the resistivity depend on?? The material of the wire. The length of the wire. The cross-sectional area of the wire. If you double the length of a wire, what happens to the resistance?? It also doubles. What’s the difference between resistivity and resitance?? Resistivity is the property of a material whereas resistance is just a measurement of a component. How would you write that the resistance $R$ is directly proportional to its length $L$?

2021-01-18 What does “potential energy” mean?? The potential to do work. How does a stretched elastic band have the potential to do work?? When it is released it will move. What is potential difference?? The energy transfered per unit charge from electrical energy to another form of energy. When used to measure a component, what does potential difference measure?? The difference in energy in the charge carriers before and after going through the component. What does EMF stand for?

Questions for Teacher If there’s no potential difference in a wire, what happens to the electrons?? They will drift randomly. What happens to the randomly drifting electrons in a wire when a potential difference is applied?? They start to drift in the same direction. What is meant by electron drift velocity?? The average displacement of the electrons along the a wire per second. Why do electrons move slowly through a metal?? Because the electrons are colliding with the lattice of atoms.
