How does the length of a wire affect its resistance? Introduction: This first report in Physics will show the investigation of how the length of a wire affects its resistance. For starters I will go through the main definitions‚ to get a better knowledge of what is going to happen. However I will plan it out first to show each step of how I started‚ and then go into detail about the results and what the investigation on a whole has showed me. I shall then conclude my findings and present them with

An experiment to investigate the factors which affect Resistance in a wire What is resistance? A potential difference (V) applied across a wire of length (l)‚ there is in the conductor‚ an electric field (E). In this electric field the free electrons are not however under continuous acceleration (Ee/m). This is because they repeatedly collide with the moderately massive vibrating atoms losing their kinetic energy. The vibrating atoms having gained this kinetic energy now vibrate more. The resulting

How Does The Diameter Of Wire Affect The Resistance In A Circuit? Introduction: Some metals such as copper‚ silver and gold are very good conductors of electricity. This is because they all have only one electron on the outer shell. This means that they need only a tiny amount of energy in order to allow the electron to move. Non-metals‚ however‚ do not have free electrons‚ so even non-metals that only have one electron on their outer shell can still hold onto them tightly. Aim Of The Investigation:

Resistance in a Conductor: The electrical resistance of an electrical conductor is the opposition to the passage of an electric current through that conductor. Electrical resistance shares some conceptual parallels with the mechanical notion of friction. The SI unit of electrical resistance is the ohm (Ω).An object of uniform cross section has a resistance proportional to its resistivity and length and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area. All materials show some resistance‚ except

| Resistance and Electric Circuits | Lab 5 | | | The goal of the “Resistance and Electric Circuit” Lab was to determine the resistivity of a conducting wire given two known resistors. The main property of resistivity is that it represents how easily electrons can flow through a material. A Galvanometer is used to measure the current of the circuit and the Wheatstone Bridge is used to measure the resistances and determine the unknown resistance. This experiment also relates Ohm’s Law

Factors affecting the resistance of a wire Introduction: Resistance is a force‚ which opposes the flow of an electric current around a circuit. Resistance is measured in Ohms. George Ohm discovered that a circuit sometimes resists the flow of electricity. He called this ’RESISTANCE.’ He even came up with a rule for working out the resistance of a circuit‚ which was: R= V ÷ I V- Volts I- Current R- Resistance Ohms law says the more resistance means more energy is needed for the current to
