    How the Length of a Wire Affects Its Resistance In my physics coursework I am going to investigate the effect of the length of a wire on its resistance. Resistance is the measure of how easy it is for current to flow through a wire. Current is the rate of flow of charge through a conductor‚ and it is measured in amps using an ammeter. To help me plan my investigation I have completed a preliminary experiment in which I investigated the effect of the thickness of a wire on its resistance‚ using

    Theory behind my experiment Thickness (cross sectional area of the wire)‚ length‚ and temperature all have some effect on the amount of resistance created in a wire. Another factor is the conductivity of the material we are using. Some metals are just more electrically conductive than others. As long as I use the same type of metal for each wire‚ my experiment will remain fair. Cross Sectional Area The thicker the wire‚ the less resistant it is. This is because there are more electrons in
