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

Physics assignment Aim To determine which factors affect the resistance of a conductor‚ and the mathematical relationship that exists between these variables. Hypothesis Copper wires would be a better conductor than nichrome wires because it would yield less resistance when they have same cross-sectional area‚ length and temperature. Resistance would be increased when length wires increased. Resistance would be increased when cross-sectional area of wires decreased. Resistivity of wires is a factor

Introduction The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a solid body depends on its change in temperature (ΔT)‚ its mass (m)‚ and an intrinsic characteristic of the material forming the body called specific heat (cp). The heat is calculated from the equation II. Purpose The purpose of this laboratory is to determine

quantities. Heat is a quantity of thermal energy‚ while temperature determines the direction and rate of heat transfer to the surroundings. It is possible for an object to have a very high temperature but contain very little heat and vice versa (physics 312). When a hot body is mixed with the cold body‚ the hot body cools down and the cold body warms up until the mixture as a whole comes to a common temperature‚ that is‚ in thermal equilibrium. By mixing hot and cold substances and measuring the

ABSTRACT: The lab of one dimensional motion is a series of experiments that deal with different types of motion in a single direction. In the first experiment‚ one dimensional motion of a small cart on an air track is measured in a one photogate system. The acceleration was calculated by the infrared light emitting electrode of the photogate sensing the slacks on the picket fence. The calculation for gravity yielded 9.63 m/s^2‚ which is consistent with the accepted value of 9.8m/s^2. In the
