    Physics Coursework - Resistance of a Wire Coursework Introduction (Theory) In this piece of Coursework I am going to investigate the resistance in a piece of wire. Resistance is the force that slows down the flow of electrons; this can be due to electrons colliding. The total length of the wires will affect the amount of resistance. The longer the wire‚ the more resistance that there will be. This is also true for thickness of wire; the thinner the wire is the more resistance. Resistance
