Physics Resistance Experiment Aim- I aim to plan and carry out an experiment to find out the resistance of a piece of wire. I aim going to use Nickel Crome (? 0.71mm). I will record my results in a table and then transfer them to a graph. Whilst doing the experiment we will use a planned out strategy with sensible lengths of the wire. This means that I had to keep some things the same and but to only have one variable/ difference. So as to produce precise and reliable evidence I will make sure that the same person does the measuring /the same person reads the ammeter and voltmeter/ and one person takes the results. To find the resistance of the wire I will use this equation: R=V/I (V= potential difference, I= current, R= resistance) Fair testing- (controlled variables) to make sure that it is a fair test; We will keep these...
