Resistance Of A Wire

Physics Coursework

Objective:

My objective in this experiment is to investigate one of the factors that affect the resistance of a piece of wire; the one I am investing is the length at constant temperature.
My objective in this experiment is to investigate one of the factors that affect the resistance of a piece of wire. The factor I chose was length.

Factors:

There our four different things that affect the resistance of a wire:

1. The Length – because the wire is thinner than the rest of the wires the electrons wood have more trouble going through for if the wire had the same width there would be no difference, and the longer it is the harder it will be for them so the resistance will go up.
2. The Width – when the wire is very thin its very hard to go through, you can compare it to a person going through a big, or little door, the thinner the door (wire) the harder it will be to go through it. With other words the thinner the wire gets the higher the......
