An experiment to find out what factors affect the resistance of a wire Planning Experimental Procedures Aim For this experiment, I will be finding to test the resistance in a circuit when the length and thickness of a wire are the variables. Prediction My prediction is that the wire will produce more resistance if the wire length is increased. I predict this because the resistance will increase if the resistor in size increases because there will be more atoms for the current to flow through. This will mean that there is more resistance. I also predict that as the thickness of the wire gets thinner the resistance will increase, this is because there will be less room for the current to flow through therefore causing more resistance. Scientific Basis Resistance is the change in the amount of electricity flowing through an electrical circuit. To measure the value of resistance Ohm's Law is (Resistance = Voltage /...
