Factors Affecting Resistance of Pencil Lead Abstract: The investigation involved testing the factors of pencil lead length‚ cross-sectional area‚ temperature and lead type to find out how they affected pencil resistance. The hypothesis was proven as the length (series circuit) graph was exponential and the area (parallel circuit) graph was that of a power function. Higher clay based pencils (2H) had higher resistance to that of higher graphite based pencils (6B)‚ and temperature

Solubility refers to the maximum amount of solute that dissolves in a given amount of solvent at a particular temperature Factors Affecting Solubility 1. Effect of Temperature For some substances to dissolve in a given solvent‚ heat is absorbed. The reaction is endothermic. In this case‚ an increase in temperature increases solubility.
