+  - **Analogy:** Replace *displacement flow* in dielectrics ($\vec{D}=\varepsilon\vec{E}$, charge storage) by **flow density** in conductors ($\vec{J}=\sigma\vec{E}$, charge transport). \\ Driving cause is still the electric field $\vec{E}$; the material parameter changes from $\varepsilon$ to $\sigma=\dfrac{1}{\rho}$.
+  - **Global relations:** Voltage is a line integral $U=\int \vec{E}\cdot{\rm d}\vec{s}$; current is a flux integral $I=\iint_A \vec{J}\cdot{\rm d}\vec{A}$. \\ Their ratio defines $G=\dfrac{I}{U}$ and $R=\dfrac{U}{I}$ for a given geometry and material.
+  - **Geometry matters:** Uniform fields (parallel plates) give $E=\text{const}$ and simple $G=\dfrac{\sigma A}{l}$. \\ Curved fields (coax) spread with radius → logarithmic dependence.
+  - **Checks:** Units ($\sigma$ in $\rm S/m$, $G$ in $\rm S$, $R$ in $\Omega$). Limits: \\ $A\!\to\!\infty \Rightarrow R\!\to\!0$ \\ $l\!\to\!0 \Rightarrow R\!\to\!0$ \\ $r_a\!\downarrow r_i \Rightarrow R\!\to\!0$.

-==== Summary on the Electric Field ====
+In the discussion of the electrostatic field in principle, no charges in motion were considered. \\
+This lead to multiple fomulas, which are aggregated in the following diagram:

+One outcome was, that the capacitance is defined as:
+\begin{align*}
+C &= {{Q}\over{U}} \\
+  &= {{ \rlap{\Large \rlap{\int_A} \int} \, \LARGE \circ} \;\; \vec{D} \, {\rm d} \vec{A}\over{\int \vec{E} \,{\rm d} \vec{s} }}
+\end{align*}
+Now the motion of charges shall be considered explicitly. \\
+With the knowledge of th electrostatic field, we want to see, whether we can calulate the resistance of more complicated geometries.
+For this we want to introduce the current density $J$: The current density here describes how charge carriers move together (collectively). \\ The stationary current density describes the charge carrier movement if a **direct voltage** is the cause of the movement. \\ Then, a constant direct current flows in the stationary electric flow field. Thus, there is no time dependency on the current:
+$\large{{{\rm d}I}\over{{\rm d}t}}=0$
+Important: Up to now it was considered, that charges had moved through a field in the past or could be moved in the future. Now, the exact moment of moving the charge is considered.

+By comparison, we see now, that the resistance can be defined as:
+\begin{align*}
+{{1}\over{R}} &= {{I}\over{U}} \\
+  &= {{ \rlap{\Large \rlap{\int_A} \int} \, \LARGE \circ} \;\; \vec{J} \, {\rm d} \vec{A}\over{\int \vec{E} \,{\rm d} \vec{s} }}
+\end{align*}
+Given the results from [[https://wiki.mexle.org/electrical_engineering_and_electronics_1/block11#typical_geometries|block 11]] we can derive:

 ===== Common pitfalls =====
-  * ...
+  * Mixing **$\vec{D}$** (electrostatics) with **$\vec{j}$** (conduction). Use $\vec{D}=\varepsilon\vec{E}$ for capacitors, $\vec{j}=\sigma\vec{E}$ for resistive flow.
+  * Forgetting **surface orientation** in $I=\iint_A \vec{j}\cdot{\rm d}\vec{A}$ (normal must align with the chosen current reference arrow).
+  * Confusing **material parameters**: $\sigma$ vs. $\rho$ with $\rho=\dfrac{1}{\sigma}$. Writing both in the same formula yields unit errors.
+  * Using the **wrong area**: for coax, the relevant area element is the *lateral* surface $2\pi r\,l$ (not $\pi r^2$).
+  * Dropping **units** or not checking dimensions; e.g., verify $G=\dfrac{\sigma A}{l}$ gives $\rm S$ and $R$ gives $\Omega$.

+<panel type="info" title="Task 2.2.1 Simulation"> <WRAP group><WRAP column 2%>{{fa>pencil?32}}</WRAP><WRAP column 92%>
+The simulation program of [[http://www.falstad.com/emstatic-old/|Falstad]] can show equipotential surfaces, electric field strength, and current density in different objects.
+  - Open the simulation program via the link
+  - Select: ''Setup: Wire w/ Current'' and ''Show Current (j)''.
+  - You will now see a finite conductor with charge carriers starting at the top end and arriving at the bottom end.
+  - We now want to observe what happens when the conductor is tapered.
+      - To do this, select ''Mouse = Clear Square''. You can now use the left mouse button to remove parts from the conducting material. The aim should be, that in the middle of the conductor, there is only a one-box wide line, on a length of at least 10 boxes. If you want to add conductive material again, this is possible with ''Mouse = Add - Conductor''.
+      - Consider why more equipotential lines are now accumulating as the conductor is tapered.
+      - If you additionally draw in the E-field with ''Show E/j'', you will see that it is stronger along the taper. This can be checked with the slider ''Brightness''. Why is this?
+  - Select ''Setup: Current in 2D 1'', ''Show E/rho/j''. Why doesn't the cavity behave like a Faraday cage here?

+<panel type="info" title="Task 2.2.2 Water Resistor"> <WRAP group><WRAP column 2%>{{fa>pencil?32}}</WRAP><WRAP column 92%>
+In transformer stations sometimes water resistors are used as {{wp>Liquid rheostat}}. In this resistor, the water works as a (poor) conductor which can handle a high power loss.
+The water resistor consists of a water basin. In the given basin two quadratic plates with the edge length of $l = 80 ~{\rm cm}$ are inserted with the distance $d$ between them.
+The resistivity of the water is $\rho = 0.25 ~\Omega {\rm m}$. The resistor shall dissipate the energy of $P = 4 ~{\rm kW}$ and shall exhibit a homogeneous current field.
+  - Calculate the required distance of the plates to get a current density of $J = 25 ~{\rm mA/cm^2}$
+  - What are the values of the current $I$ and the voltage $U$ at the resistor, such as the internal electric field strength $E$ in the setup?
