I am going to investigate the factors that affect how well graphite coated paper conducts electricity. Graphite Paper is paper coated with graphite on one side; it is a semi-conductor. I will be investigating how the width of the graphite paper affects the current and the resistance. I will also be investigating how the temperature of the graphite paper affects the resistance. The resistance of a conductor is defined by: - R = V is p.d across paper I is current through paper A current only flows between two points if the electrical potentials at the two points are different. The higher the potential difference at one point, the faster the current will flow between them. If the two points have equal electrical potentials, no current will flow between them. Just imagine the wire to be a plank of wood; and the current to be a ball. If there is no potential...
