Aim: To investigate how the piece of resistance wire depends on length and to find the length of wire needed to make the required resistors Introduction: The purpose of this investigation is to find out whether the length of a resistance wire affects the resistance. Resistance is the name given to a material that resists the flow of electrical current and is measured in ohms (?). I am going to carry out an experiment that will allow me to see the effect on the wire's resistance through how long the wire is. Hopefully, this experiment will lead to a conclusion reflecting the statements made in my prediction. Prediction: I predict that the longer the wire will be, the higher the resistance will be. This is because the free electrons will have a longer length to travel and will also collide more frequently due to the fact that they would have to travel past...
