Physics coursework Jaypal Sandhu 12c Mr.Rugg How does different temperatures affect the resistance of a metal wire/thermistor. Aim (preliminary): The preliminary aim of my coursework was to measure what affect different temperatures have on the change in resistance of a copper wire. Apparatus: * Distilled water * Heat proof mat * Tri pod * Bunsen burner * Copper wire * 5v power pack * Electrical wires * Crocodile clips * Thermometer * 100? resistor Diagram: In theory this was a good experiment however in practice it was not. Whilst conducting the experiment I realise that from the temperature changing from 0 degrees to 100 degrees there was only a small change of 0.01v. I tried with a different resistor but still had no luck. There was not enough change for me to conduct a worthwhile experiment. I tried to use a higher current on the power pack but still the voltage never changed of the copper wire and as a higher current was used I ad to press...
