Electric Circuit A voltage source separates charges You get a + and a – pole When you connect the two poles of the source, you get an electric circuit Different charges tend to reverse the separation Charges will move in the circuit Either negative charges (electrons) or positive charges (ions) can move, i.e. charge carriers move. EE1 – Ohm- Kirchhoff
Why are some materials providing more free electrons than others? Atomic Bondin g EE1 – Ohm- Kirchhoff

Sea water 3* Earth 108 distilled water 1010 EE1 – Ohm- Resistivity Kirchhoff In some cases it is convenient to use the reciprocal value of resistivity which is called conductivity ϰ [pronounced kappa] its unit is (m/ mm2) ϰ = 1 / ρ Then A l R ϑ ϑ ΔR : Change in resistance R 20 : Resistance value at 20°C (reference!) α : Temperature coefficient of the material ( for metals in the range of ±0.04Ω/K) Δϑ : Change in temperature Resistivity is Temperature dependent!
Current Direction dinary electrical circuit consists of a source of voltage and/or current wh onnected by electrical conducting material, like metal wires, usually Cu provide a good electrical conductivity due to electrons which are free to n a normal electric circuit, electrons (with negative charge) move from the – (negative) to the + (positive) pole! ventional current direction is from the + (positive) to the – (negative) p Physical movement of electrons Technical direction

An electric voltage causes a directional electric current Formal definitions: 1V is the voltage at a conductor if the resulting current is 1 A and the resulting heat power is 1W
