How Does the Length of a Wire Effect It's Resistance Hypothesis I think that the length of a wire will affect its resistance. I think that the longer the wire the more resistance it will have and the shorter the wire the smaller the resistance. I think this because the electrons will be slowed down more by having to go through more electrons to get round the circuit. Apparatus * One Meter Ruler * Voltmeter * Ammeter * Crocodile Clips * Power Pack * Un-insulated wire Fair Test To make this a fair test I will use the same power pack, voltmeter and ammeter.

Also I will make sure the wire doesn't overheat which affects the resistance. Method * I will setup the apparatus as shown below in the diagram * I will then place the crocodile clip at 600mm...
