Factors Affecting The Resistance Of Wire Aim: To investigate the factors that affect the resistance in a conductor. The main factors that affect the resistance in a conductor are: · Length · Temperature · Cross sectional area · Material · Magnetism The factor that we are going to change is the cross sectional area. Hypothesis: I think that the higher the cross sectional area‚ the lower the resistance in the conductor will be. This is because the Resistance in a metal conductor happens

Morita paid Western Electric (US) $25‚000 for transistor technology licenses‚ which sparked a consumer electronics revolution in Japan. His firm launched one of the first transistor radios in 1955‚ followed by the first Sony-trademarked product‚ a pocket- sized radio‚ in 1957. The next year the company changed its name to Sony (from "sonus‚" Latin for "sound‚" and "sonny‚" meaning little man). It beat the competition to newly emerging markets for transistor TVs (1959) and solid-state videotape recorders
