Investigation: how the resistance in a circuit varies with the length‚ thickness and type of wire Introduction A current is a flow of negative electrons around a circuit or electrical pathway. This is measured in how many electrons per second or the charge they are carrying go round the circuit (amps or amperes) Voltage or Potential Difference measures how much energy individual electrons have to use up as they go around a circuit. (Volts) Components in a circuit have a Resistance value which will

There are two main models of the universe: the geocentric model and the heliocentric model. The geocentric model is where the Sun and other planets‚ moons and stars revolve around the Earth. The

(120V) = 0.5 A 10. Using the formula Power = current X voltage‚ show that the current drawn by a 1200-W hair dryer connected to 120 V is 10 A. Then using your same method for the solution to the previous problem‚ show that the resistance of the hair dryer is 12 Ω. Resistance = Voltage / Current 1200 W / 120 V = 10 A 120 V / 10 A = 12 Ω Chapter 11 Magnetism and Electromagnet Induction Exercises (p.242) 16.

Knowing how to describe motion is an important first step in understanding the underlying physics that governs changes in motion. We see changes in motion all the time‚ as we go to work or school‚ participate in sports or even wander around our homes. If we never changed our own motion‚ we would never make it out of bed in the morning. The study

Not only have vehicles changed‚ but the means by which people can get themselves to and from different locations has changed as well. Maps and compasses now take a backseat to the Global Positioning System (GPS). Access to the GPS is now very widespread; 24 satellites above our atmosphere are used to send and receive information in order to accurately determine locations of

Physics (Thorpe Park Trip) Report: On Monday 8th October our physics class went on a physics trip to Thorpe Park to look at the different ways in which a roller coast works. This report will be looking at the G forces acting on rides‚ the launching systems and breaking systems. The particular rollercoaster which I have picked to look into more detail in is “Stealth” which is located in Thorpe Park. Stealth: Stealth was originally designed by Werner Stengel. Stealth reaches a height of 205 feet
