Sensor Investigation: Aim: The aim of this investigation is to build and test a sensor, and explaining the characteristic of a sensor and then designing and assembling a measurement system, and using the sensor to make a measurement. The practical side of this was the most crucial section, to produce an idea that can be implemented into an experiment to gain measurements. I had to show initiative and independence in carrying out the experiment and investigation; this involved producing a plan deciding on resistor value and then using this idea. Also to use knowledge and understanding of physics to devise and plan experimental activities, selecting appropriate experimental techniques. This is to deduce the apparatus to use and in what way to arrange the circuit. It was also essential to demonstrate safe and skillful practical techniques; this was performed by analysing the plan then highlighting and risk assessing the situation. Moreover, I had to...
