Investigating the resistance of a wire. Planning For this investigation there are a number of variables that can be chosen to change or keep the same‚ these are: · Length of the wire. · Diameter of the wire. · Type of the wire. · Temperature of the wire. Scientific explanation. All electrical conductors resist current through them to some extent. This is resistance and this affects the size of the current flow. The main dependence of resistance are: § It’s Length. § It’s Thickness

Physics GCSE coursework: Resistance of wire Aim: To investigate if the length of wire affects its resistance. Prediction (Hypothesis): I predict that the longer the wire the higher the resistance‚ and the shorter the wire the lower the resistance. Knowledge: Resistance is that property of electric components that turn electric energy into heat in opposing the passing of an electric current.It can be beneficial‚ as in electric heaters‚ or a pest‚ as in light bulbs‚ where the heat
