Isn’t E = 0?
Current density, j, is the electric current per unit cross sectional area. Current density is a vector.
Charge carriers experience a force and accelerate. They collide with the atoms in the metal and are slowed down eventually reaching a terminal velocity called the drift velocity

Superconductors
• A class of materials and compounds whose resistances fall to virtually zero below a certain temperature, TC
– TC is called the critical temperature
• The graph is the same as a normal metal above TC, but suddenly drops to zero at TC
Superconductor Application
• An important application of superconductors is a superconducting magnet
• The magnitude of the magnetic field is about 10 times greater than a normal electromagnet
• Used in MRI units

Example Problem
Given: Copper wire transmission linelength = 1500 mdiameter = 0.1cmcurrent = 50 Acu = 1.67 x 10-6 -cm
Find: Power loss due to heating the wire
Example P27.6
The quantity of charge q (in coulombs) that has passed through a surface of area 2.00 cm2 varies with time according to the equation q = 4t3 + 5t + 6, where t is in seconds.
(a) What is the instantaneous current through the surface at t = 1.00 s?
(b) What is the value of the current density?

Example P27.29
A certain lightbulb has a tungsten filament with a resistance of 19.0 Ω when cold and 140 Ω when hot. Assume that the resistivity of tungsten varies linearly with temperature even over the large temperature range involved here, and find the temperature of the hot filament. Assume the initial temperature is 20.0°C.
