Current And Resistance Of A Wire
468 wordsResistance Coursework Planning: Aim Investigate how the length of a wire affects the current and resistance of a wire. Variables The variables that could change resistance are: o Length of the wire Cross section area (thickness) o Changing material so Changing temperatures The variable I am going to change in my experiment is the length of the wire.

40 0 Cm The Avg Resistance
292 wordsAnalysis: With scientific knowledge the graph has turned out like it should have turned out, in that the resistance will increase as the length of a wire increases. This is because of the idea, discussed in the prediction that if you double length, you double the number of atoms in it. As the charges move through the conductor they collide with other atoms. They transfer some of their kinetic energy. This transfer on collision is what causes resistance. So doubling length doubles the amount of a...
