How Does the Length of Wire Affect Resistance? During this experiment I am going to be studying the resistance of a 28swg Constantine wire. The purpose of this investigation is to see how the length of the Constantine wire affects the resistance of the electrons flowing through the wire. The aim of this experiment: To investigate how the electrical resistance of a wire changes in relationship to its length Resistance Resistance means the property of anything, which constricts the flow of the electrons. Resistance occurs when the electrons traveling along the wire collide with the atoms of the wire. These collisions slow down the flow of electrons, which causes more resistance. The resistance increases or decreases if there are more or less atoms in the wire. Resistance is a measure of how hard it is to move the electrons through the wire. Variables that could affect my experiment: There are many variables that could affect...
