Electric Charge Lab John Doe Physics 1130 Oct 26th‚ 2010 Objective In this lab we will investigate some properties of electric charge‚ conductors‚ and insulators using everyday objects. Theory A charged object is any object that has an excess of negative or positive charge. Most objects are neutrally charged and we don’t normally experience their charge properties. Rubbing objects together and transferring some charge from one to the other is one way to create charged objects. Like charges

| Resistance and Electric Circuits | Lab 5 | | | The goal of the “Resistance and Electric Circuit” Lab was to determine the resistivity of a conducting wire given two known resistors. The main property of resistivity is that it represents how easily electrons can flow through a material. A Galvanometer is used to measure the current of the circuit and the Wheatstone Bridge is used to measure the resistances and determine the unknown resistance. This experiment also relates Ohm’s Law
