Current Conduction by Electrons in Metal

Electric current: Flow of charge per unit time

Electric current density: Net amount of charge


flowing across a unit area per unit time

Electric field: negative of voltage gradient, i.e.


voltage per unit length

Current Conduction by Electrons in Metal
Valence electron → Conduction electron

Conduction electrons are scattered by:


a. Vibrating atoms, b. Crystal defects, c. Vacancies, d. Dislocations, e. Impurities
