    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 of affecting the resistance.

    procedure‚ you actually made a cylinder of M&Ms. The cylinder was rather "smushed‚" and the height of the cylinder was the thickness of an M&M. Recall that the equation for the volume of a cylinder is V = (3.14)r2h. A. Rearrange the equation for "h." Show your work.H=v*(3.14)r^2 B. Using the data from Table 1 and your equation‚ calculate the average thickness (height) of an M&M for each trial. Record your calculated values in Table 1. Hint: Students often forget that they must

    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 is measured
