Varying the Voltage Across a Fixed Value Resistor. For my project I am going to investigate the affects that occur when varying the voltage across a fixed value resistor. I will observe things that will happen. I will look at a variety of possibilities, and hopefully I will find out what happens when the voltage is changed. Planning Things the voltage may effect when varied are: Current Heat Resistance I have decided to change the voltage and measure the current. Prediction I predict that if I double the voltage, then the current will also double. I predict that the voltage will be proportional to current. The current is the flow of electrons. You can compare a wire to a water pipe. The flow of electrons is like the flow of water. The voltage is the push of electrons, which in equivalent would be the pressure of the water in the pipe. Therefore if you double the...
