Resistivity of Copper Wire of Different Lengths In this report I will be writing about the experiment I will conduct on copper wire of different lengths. The dependent variable I will be measuring is the resistance of the Copper wire. To do this experiment‚ one needs to obtain measurements with a high degree of accuracy‚ taking care of the equipment they use and measuring each value to a certain degree of accuracy for all results. The problem with measuring the resistivity of Copper wire is due to

circuit. * Resistance: The total resistance is equal to the sum of the individual resistances. * Current: The current at any point in the circuit equals the current at all other points. The value of current depends on the source voltage and the total circuit resistance. * Voltage: The sume of the component voltages must equal the source voltage. * Power: The total power used by the circuit must equal the power delivered by the source. 3. Calculate the total resistance in the circuit
