UNITS AND MEASUREMENTS Example: In the electric field of a parallel plate air capacitor, the values of D and E are 0.885 C/m2 and 105 N/C, respectively. If area of each plate is 1 sq.m, find i) electric flux ii) value of absolute permittivity of free space.
Solution : i) ii) Electric Flux , = D x A = (0.885 x 10-6) x 1 = 0.885 x 10-6 C Electric Flux density, D = 0 r E 0 = D/r E (Since r = 1 for air) = 0.885 x 10-6 / 1 x 105 = 8.85 x 10-12 F/m
ELECTRIC FIELD STRENGTH: Electric Field Strength is the force experienced by a unit positive charge placed at that point. Its direction is the direction along which the force acts. Symbol: E Unit : Newton / Coulomb, N/C Example: A parallel plate capacitor has plates 1 mm apart and a dielectric with relative permittivity of 3.39. Find the electric field strength if the surface charge is 3 x 10-4 C/m2. Solution : The surface charge is equal to electric flux density, D. D = 0 r E Electric field intensity, E = D / 0 r = 3 x 10-4/ (8.854 x 10-12 x 3.39) = 10 7 V/m

UNITS AND MEASUREMENTS ELECTRIC CURRENT : When an external force or potential difference is applied to the atoms, electrons in it flow, constituting a current called Electric Current. One ampere of current is said to flow through a wire if at any section one coulomb of charge flows in one second. Symbol : I Unit : Ampere Example : A 60 W light bulb has a current of 0.5 A flowing through it. Calculate the number of electrons passing through a cross section of filament. Solution: I = Q t = ne t
n = 0.5 x 1 / (1.6 x 10 19 ) = 3.1 x 10 18 electrons / sec. ELECTRIC CURRENT DENSITY: Electric Current Density is the current passing through unit area of cross section normally. Symbol: Unit : Ampere/ Sq.m. Example: If a current of 15 Ampere is flowing through a surface of area 5 sq.m, the current density is = 15/5 = 3 Amps / sqm.

UNITS AND MEASUREMENTS ELECTRIC POTENTIAL : Electric Potential at any point in an electric field is defined as the work done in bringing a positive charge of one coulomb from infinity to that point against the electric field. Electric Potential, V = Work done Charge = W Q
Electric potential is said to be 1 Volt if 1 joule of work is done to give it a charge of 1 coulomb. Symbol : V Unit : Volt. Example: A charge of 4 coulombs is flowing between points A and B of a circuit. If the potential difference between A and B is 2 volts, how many joules will be released by part AB of the circuit. Solution : The potential difference of 2 volts between points A and B means that each coulomb of charge will give up an energy of 2 joules in moving from A to B. As the charge flowing is 4 coulombs, therefore total energy released by the part AB of the circuit is = 4 x 2 = 8 Joules.

UNITS AND MEASUREMENTS ELETRIC POWER : The rate at which work is done in an electric circuit is called Electric Power. Electric power = Work done in electric circuit. Time The power consumed in a circuit is 1 watt if a potential difference of 1 volt causes 1 ampere current to flow through the circuit. Symbol : P Unit : C.G.S System : ErgS-1 S. I. System : J S-1, Watt Example : The rating of a machine is 2000 Watts = 2 10 Erg / Sec. (Since 1 Erg/Sec= 10 10 KW or 1 Watt = 10 7 Erg / Sec) Solution: 1 Watt hour ( Whr) = 3600 Joules 1 Kcal = 4186 Joules 1 Horse Power = 735.5 J/s or Watt.
