# Simple conduction

Introduction of simple conduction, including the basic ideas and models of conductor.

Our initial studies will more or less be a review of topics in electricity that you may have seen before in physics. However,if experience is any guide, there is no great harm in going back over this material, for it seems that for many students, thewhole concept of just how electricity actually works is just a little hazy. Considering that you hope to be called anelectrical engineer one of these days, this might even be a good thing to know!

Most of the "laws" of how electricity behaves are really just mathematical representations of a number of empiricalobservations, based on some assumptions and guesses which were made in attempt to bring the "laws" into a coherent whole.Early investigators (Faraday, Gauss, Coulomb, Henry etc....all those guys) determined certain things about this strange"invisible" thing called electricity. In fact, the electron itself was only discovered a little over 100 years ago. Even beforethe electron itself was observed, people knew that there were two kinds of electric charge, which were called positive and negative . Like charges exhibit a repulsive force between them and opposite chargesattract one another. This force is proportional to the product of the absolute value of positive and negative charge, andvaries inversely with the square of the distance between them. Different charge carriers have different mass, some are verylight, and others are significantly heavier. Electrical charges can experience forces, and can move about. Since force timesdistance equals work, a whole system of energy ( potential as well as kinetic ) and energy loss had to be described. This has lead to our currentsystem of electrostatics and electrodynamics, which we will not review now but bring up along the way as things are needed.

Just to make sure everyone is on the same footing however, let's define a few quantities now, and then we will see how theyinteract with one another as we go along.

The total charge in some region is defined by the symbol $Q$ and it has units of Coulombs. The fundamental unit of charge (that of an electron or a proton)is symbolized either by a little $q$ or by $e$ . Since we'll use $e$ for other things, in this course we will try to stick with $q$ . The charge of an electron , $q$ , has a value of $1.6E-19$ Coulombs.

Since charge can be distributed throughout a region with varyingconcentrations, we will also talk about the charge density , $\rho (\nu )$ , which has units of $\frac{\mathrm{Coulombs}}{\mathrm{cm}^{3}}$ . (In this book, we will use a modified MKS system of units. In keeping with most workers in the solid-state devicefield, volume will usually be expressed as a cubic centimeter, rather than a cubic meter - a cubic meter of silicon is just fartoo much!) In most cases, the charge density is not uniform but is a function of where we are in space. Thus, when we have $\rho (\nu )$ distributed throughout some volume, $V$

$Q=\int \rho (\nu )\,d \nu$
describes the total charge in that volume.

what are the important of economic to accounting students with references
Economics is important because it helps people understand how a variety of factors work with and against each other to control how resources such as labor and capital get used, and how inflation, supply, demand, interest rates and other factors determine how much you pay for goods and services.

Soumya
hi
Mitiku
how are you?
Mitiku
can you tell how can i economics honurs(BSC) in reputed college?
Soumya
through hard study and performing well than expected from you
Mitiku
what should i prepare for it?
Soumya
prepare first, in psychologically as well as potentially to sacrifice what's expected from you, when I say this I mean that you have to be ready, for every thing and to accept failure as a good and you need to change them to potential for achievement of ur goals

what is the difference between short run and long run?
It just depends on how far you would like to run!!!🤣🤣🤣
Anna
meaning? You guys need not to be playing here; if you don't know a question, leave it for he that knows.
Ukpen
pls is question from which subject or which course
Is this not economics?
Ukpen
This place is meant to be for serious educational matters n not playing ground so pls let's make it a serious place.
Docky
Is there an economics expert here?
Docky
Okay and I was being serous
Anna
The short run is a period of time in which the quantity of at least one inputs is fixed...
Anna
that is the answer that I found online and in my text book
