5/2/2006 Aim: Does the resistance of a filament bulb change as the bulb gets brighter? Hypothesis: I believe that a filament bulb will have an increasing resistance depending upon the current passing through it. Equipment: *Power Supply *Wires *Ammeter *Voltmeter *Filament bulb with holder *Alligator clips *Switch Method: 1.Set up the circuit according to the schematic diagram 2.Use the alligator clips to connect the filament bulb to the voltmeter 3.Connect the power supply to the electricity

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
