Aim: To find the mass in grams (m) of a paperclip. Apparatus: Procedure: 1. Using a piece of string‚ the external circumference(C) of the small test tube was found and was then used to find A ‚ the cross sectional area of the small test tube A=C24π . 2. The beaker was placed under the test tube after it was clamped on the retort stand to collect excess water. The large test tube was filled with water. After which‚ the small test tube which had a fitted scale was placed inside to float

ELECTRICAL CONDUCTORS A conductor is an object or type of material which permits the flow of electric charges in one or more directions. For example‚ a wire is an electrical conductor that can carry electricity along its length. Physics All conductors contain electrical charges‚ which will move when an electric potential difference (measured in volts) is applied across separate points on the material. This flow of charge (measured in amperes) is what is meant by electric current. In most

An experiment to investigate the factors which affect Resistance in a wire What is resistance? A potential difference (V) applied across a wire of length (l)‚ there is in the conductor‚ an electric field (E). In this electric field the free electrons are not however under continuous acceleration (Ee/m). This is because they repeatedly collide with the moderately massive vibrating atoms losing their kinetic energy. The vibrating atoms having gained this kinetic energy now vibrate more. The resulting

Hence‚ the objective is to establish a relationship between the length of a cantilever‚ which may give some insight into the physics of cantilevers. Hypothesis: If one increases the length of a cantilever‚ one would expect there to be an
