Resistivity

[@dalenassar9152]

At the very start you state "FLOW OF CHARGE" a couple' times....GREAT!!!! GREAT!!! I just had to stop after the 1st 25 seconds, to say how good it was to actually hear someone state what "current" actually was! I know the world will never 'say it correctly",but MANY THANKS!!! Whenever I hear "flow of current", I always, in the back of my head, think 'acceleration of charge' --daLE

I cannot resist commenting. This is a good explanation of the concept. In fact, temperature is always a very important factor in any electronic circuit design. Semiconductors and other components are rated for specific temperature ranges and voltages. What wasn't covered here are the extremes, like super high-voltage arcing, thermal runaway and high-current heat convection, but that may be beyond the scope of this introduction. Thanks

Learning so much core knowledge from your videos.

[@alrayyaniQtr]

i like to remember the equation as PLAR. PL=AR. Resistivity x Length = Area x Resistance

[@ammarkhan2927]

Another way is to remember the word"REPLA" (the word replay) where R = resistance, E for equal sign, P for resistivity symbol (rho), L and A for length and area respectively R = PL/A

@@ammarkhan2927 Needed something like this to help me remember. Thank you 🤝

[@rereabosena690]

I study R=Resistivity ×length ÷Area

[@rereabosena690]

Resistivity is constant and inversely to conductivity

[@rafaelmachado6308]

Excellent Video. Straight to the point.

It was a short video but easy to understand it is clarified Thanks Sir... STAY SAFE DUE TO CORONAVIRUS

[@moved_project]

Thank you so much, your videos are really helpful for us college students, I'm going to pass materials science because of you!

Fantastic .

[@rinus915]

Thank you man

[@jamesstei1853]

Helpful.

[@TheJacqueeeline]

Hey thanks heaps for ALL your vids, super helpful and legit a life saver, especially the bio vids :)) Don't RESIST reading this aha

[@lindawicks6644]

1:22 Changing the amount of material doesn't change the resistivity?? I don't think you meant that, but it sounds like that.

Thanks for supporting science keep going I'd like to make a request for some thing I'd want you to explain if I may.

why not! i'm also physics teacher and i'm gonna watch this together with my class today :)

But if you increase the temperature, should not current flow increase due to excitement?

[@danteee32]

You asked this 7 years ago, but it might help to someone else. Increasing the temperature in metals in many cases leads to allotropy, which means the atomic structures of the metal changes. The main reason of this is because the heat transfers as kinetic energy into the atoms, so they start vibrating with a larger and larger amplitude, so atomic bonds that was stable enough on a lower temperature are not stable enough anymore, and as a result they rearrange into a new one. This change can occur more than once until you reach the melting point of the metal. Partly this change is responsible for the increasing resistivity, but the main reason is the increased atomic vibration. Electrons (the current) go between the atoms, but because the atoms are more fidgety, electrons can not go so easily, they always bump into the more and more fidgety atoms of the metals atomic structure (called crystal lattice). And of course electrons themselves are more speedy as well, so it's like in a video game where the player try to run all the time, because he believes he is playing an action game but he is actually playing an RPG and he is in a small room, but he still try to run like hell because he needs to finish the game in 3 days otherwise something bad happens. So that"s what the electrons do as the temperature rises, and they are not too successful to handle the situation. They just bump to everything and to each other with full speed. So that is the main reason when it comes to metals. In semi conductors it happens the other way around. In very simple terms, electrons can not go easily freely between atoms when the metal is at room temperature, they just don't have enough energy. There are obstacles keeping them back running around. But as the temperature rises they gain enough energy to do that, so they start running around freely, and the metal becomes a conductor.
