Year 10 Coursework-Resistance Assessment Resistance is a measure of how hard it is to get a current through a component at a particular potential difference or voltage. Potential difference , current and resistance are related using this formula: Potential Difference(volt, V) = Current (ampere, A) x Resistance (ohms) Prediction: I predict that the shorter the resistance wire, the less resistance there will be, I also think that this will mean the lower the resistance the higher the current will be. Hypothesis: I think what I have put in my prediction is true because the greater the resistance of a substance the less current it will allow to flow through the given voltage. We can use an equation to work out the amount of current able to flow through a circuit at any one time Current = Voltage Resistance I think the less resistance wire used, the easier and quicker the current will be able to flow through...
