METHOD

 Set p the equipment as shown on the diagram.
 One meter length of wire is fixed to a one meter ruler.
 The first crocodile clip is clipped to the wire at the 0cm position on the one meter ruler.
 The second crocodile clip is clipped to the 10cm position.
 The power supply is turned on. The voltage and current are then read of the ammeter and voltmeter, and recorded.
 The power supply is then turned off and the second crocodile clip is moved to the 20cm position.
 Then the power supply is turned and you record the readings from the ammeter and voltmeter.
 Then you turn the power off and move the clip to the next position, you do that until you get to 90cm then you stop.
 After you do that, it is best to repeat the same thing from the beginning at least three time to get fair and accurate results.
