For this project I want to investigate the factors affecting the resistance of a metal wire. Factors that effect the resistance of a wire are: Length Diameter Cross-sectional area worked out from this. Material used Temperature Of the above variables, I will be varying the length of the Nichrome wire, and also, I will be varying the cross-sectional area of the wire. The temperature, and the material used for the wire will remain constant in every experiment. In the experiment for cross-sectional area, the length will remain at a constant and in the experiment...
we cannot stick a thermometer in it. Because of this, I would probably vary the material used. If this experiment also yielded results that backed up my results, e.g. the length of a different material used is twice as resistant as a piece of wire half it's length. I would also vary the cross-sectional area of the wire used keeping everything else constant to back up my second hypothesis. A title for this experiment could be:

"Does material used effect the hypotheses; 'is resistance is proportional to length?' or 'Is resistance inversely proportional to cross-sectional area?'"
Introduction To investigate how the length of a wire affects resistance in an electric circuit, different lengths of wire will be placed in an electrical circuit and the effects will be observed. An ammeter and voltmeter will be used to measure the current and voltage in...

The Macbeths, in my opinion, are deliberately portrayed as the potential of good people to change under specific circumstances. In this situation, however, the motivation for crime is not 'for the good' of anyone but the Macbeth"s themselves, it is in the name of ambition and ultimately greed....

Aim: To establish whether a variation in the voltage will affect an electromagnet"s strength Plan: I plan to try and make the strongest possible electromagnet using insulated copper wired coiled around an iron core Copper is used because it has a low electrical resistance, this means that it is easy...

Life is sustained by the energy from the sun. Without the sun all plants and animals would die. The sun provides 99.98% of the energy, which naturally flows through the surface environment of the earth. Put another way, the sun supplies 5000 times more energy than all other sources combined....

Physics Investigation Of Resistance Aim: to investigate how the electrical resistance of a wire changes in relationship to it?é??s length. Prediction: I think that as the length of the wire increases so to will the resistance of it. I also believe that the rate at which the resistance...
