HOW DOES THE LENGTH OF WIRE AFFECT ITS RESISTANCE? Aim: How does the length of wire affect its resistance? Introduction: When the length of wire increases there will be more atoms, when the length of the wire shortens, there will be less atoms. So when a cell is connected across the wire the electrons will flow. When there is more wire there will be more atoms and the atoms will stop some of the electrons from getting through and there will be less of a charge, this would increase the resistance and vice versa. Hypothesis: I think that the length of the wire will affect the resistance. I think this because as the wire gets larger there will be a greater amount of atoms. This will prevent some of the electrons getting through and will increase the resistance. A smaller wire would have fewer atoms and then more of a charge will get...
