What is matter?
Def. matter is anything, which occupies space and has mass. Matter exit in various form:solid, liquid
and gas. Matter may be in compound form
Basic component of matter is atom. Atom is of great importance to us. Because , it provides
electrons, which form backbone of electronics.
K-shell: 2x1²=2
L-shell: 2x2²=8
M-shell: 2x3²=18

Cu is known as conductor.
N atomic number 7.
K-shell: 2x1²=2
N is called insulator.
Si is called semiconductor.
Materials is Classified:
Conductor: Those Materials which have plenty free electrons and which these electrons can
move easily from onr orbit to another are called conductor. Ex: Cu
Insulator: Those Materials which have few free electrons tightly bound to the nucleus are
called insulator. Which necessary to protect current. Ex: plastic, N
Semiconductor: These metarials which have a conductivity between conductors and
nonconductors or insulators are called semiconductor. Ex: Si, Ge
Electric Charge:
Def: The total deficiency or excess of electrons in a body is known as its charge. If there is excess of
electrons in body then the body is safe to be Negatavely-charged. If there is deficieny of electrons in
body then the body is safe to be Positively-charged.
Properties Charge:
It has 2 properties:
Electric Current
Let a charge q coulomb, flows across in conductor in time t sec. then, Electric current is defined by
I=q/t=dq/dt
Note! current may be due to both positive and negative charges moving in opposite direction in
conductor.

Potential and Potential Difference
Def. Every electronic charge is capable doing work by moving another charge either by attraction or
by repulsion. This ability of a charge to do work represents its potentials.
V=W/Q
Protential Difference(PD)
Def. It is clear that when there are 2 different chargestheir potentials are different. There exsits
potentials difference between two.
Note! PD is necessary to cause flow of electric current. If there is no PD then current does not
produce.
Problem-2: In a conductor, 18.72*10 electrons are found to move past a given point in 0.25 sec. What
is the value of electronic current flowing through the conductor? (Ans: 2A)
