    investigate how the resistance of a wire is affected by the length of the wire. Theory What is resistance? Resistance is a force which opposes the flow of an electric current around a circuit so that energy is required to push the charged particles around the circuit. The circuit itself can resist the flow of particles if the wires are either very thin or very long. e.g. The filament across an electric light bulb. How is it measured? The resistance of a length of wire is calculated by measuring

    resistance of a wire Introduction: Resistance is a force‚ which opposes the flow of an electric current around a circuit. Resistance is measured in Ohms. George Ohm discovered that a circuit sometimes resists the flow of electricity. He called this ’RESISTANCE.’ He even came up with a rule for working out the resistance of a circuit‚ which was: R= V ÷ I V- Volts I- Current R- Resistance Ohms law says the more resistance means more energy is needed for the current to pass through the wire. Resistance
