MYP Y11 Science – Resistor Investigation
Planning:
Introduction:
Resistance is simply the force, which opposes the flow of electrons through an electrical conductor. ... The resistance of a specific object can be determined by several factors such as:
• Length of the Wire
• Thickness/Width of the Wire
• Material of the Wire
• Temperature
• EMF Supply
• Wire Density
In this Investigation I would be testing only one variable/factor from the above list, which is the length of the wire. ... This is quite obvious because as the size of the resistor increases the amount of atoms will also increase in proportion. ... Then assemble the circuit as shown below and in place of the resistor use the 10 cm Nichrome Wire.
