Aim:- We will investigate the length of a wire in a series circuit, and if it will affect its resistance. Prediction:- Resistance is the force of which opposes the flow of an electric current around a circuit so that energy is required to push the charged particles around the circuit. I predict the resistance will vary with the length. I also predict the longer the wire the less current will flow which increases the resistance. This is because electric current is the movement of electrons through a conductor, so when resistance is high, conductivity is...

I have noted my working out on the graph of current against voltage. On my graph of current against voltage, there is an anomalies point which I have circled. It is the 10cm point of 0.90V and 0.18A which I must have rejected on the graph of length against gradient. So this is the reason of my rejection on the graph of length against gradient. You can see that this one point has affected the gradient. And as I mentioned that I must of miss read the meters.
INTRODUCTION This piece of physics coursework is an investigation, which will try to find out the factors affecting the resistance of a wire and reasons behind these. Mechanism of conduction: - In metals there is conduction most metals follow ohmic-law but in plastics there is...

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....

For many centuries, scientists have been puzzling over the question "What is everything made of?". There have been numerous theories and hypotheses drawn up over the millennia, but only one can be correct. This is atomic theory ?óÔé¼ÔÇ£ that everything is composed of atoms, which is the smallest any one...

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....
