  • The Length of a Wire Affects Its Resistance

    928 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Length of a Wire Affects Its Resistance Scientific Enquiry: I know that metals are good conductors of electricity. Metals are good conductors because their electrons are easily released allowing electricity to flow. The electrons can carry current because they split up from the positive ions, so they are free to move and to carry current. Factors that affect resistance: 1. Length – the longer the wire the more atoms there are for the current to push through. 2. Width –

    Investigating the Factors that Affect the Resistance of a Wire Aim To study the factors which affect the resistance of a wire. Background Information Although current and potential difference measure different things, they are related to each other. In 1826, Georg Ohm discovered that doubling the p.d. doubled the current. (Taken from Ohm's Law: the current flowing through a metal wire is proportional to the potential difference across it (providing the temperature is constant)

  • How Thickness and Length Affect the Resistance of a Wire

    How Thickness and Length Affect the Resistance of a Wire I plan to investigate how the length and thickness of a wire affects the resistance. I plan to do this by keeping the voltage the same by using a variable resistor and measure the current when varied lengths and thicknesses of wire is in a circuit ===================================================================== Variables ========= There are a few factors that can affect the resistance. These are; * Temperature

  • Factors Which Affect the Resistance of a Wire

    Factors Which Affect the Resistance of a Wire To start off this experiment I feel that it is suitable to explain the main facts of this study. Below is a section explaining the resistance in detail. Facts on Resistance: I have shown how resistance occurs. · WIRE · ATOMS · ELECTRONS Resistance occurs when the electrons traveling along the wire collide with the atoms of the wire. These collisions slow down the flow of electrons causing resistance. Resistance is a measure

  • Investigating How Different Lengths of Wire Affect the Resistance in a Circuit

    944 Words  | 2 Pages

    Wire Affect the Resistance in a Circuit Hypothesis: I predict that; the longer the wire, the more resistance there will be. So if the length of the wire were to double, so would the resistance. The reason for my prediction is: The flow of electrons is called a current, the electrons are constantly hitting atoms, which causes resistance. If the same amount of current is passed through a longer piece of wire, there will be more collisions, hence more resistance. The more resistance there

  • How Does Peaceful Resistance Affect Society

    502 Words  | 2 Pages

    Peaceful resistance has a great impact on society. Over history it has been seen many times, times that are still talked about today. People have become famous because they stand up for what they believe in and what they believe is right, for example Rosa Parks, she did not believe it was right for her to have to move for a white person, why should she have to? All people were created equally and meant to, if at least co-exsist.Peaceful resistance can turn into something that is not very peaceful

    We the Students Essay LESSLY DIAZ 1ST Does peaceful resistance affect society negatively or positively? In this last year’s we’ve seen several peaceful resistance against the law like for an example people protesting against the presidential election. Peaceful resistance has affected the society in a positive way it has affected the society in such a positive way because people have the freedom to express their feelings, thoughts, and opinions

  • Investigating How the Length of the Wire Affects the Resistance of the Current Passing Through Wire

    Length of the Wire Affects the Resistance of the Current Passing Through Wire Aim For this experiment, my aim is to investigate how the length of the wire affects the resistance of the current passing through the wire. Hypothesis and Scientific Knowledge When electric current passes through a conductor, there is always a resistance against it. The resistance varies between different types of materials. Although all metals are conductors, some have a higher resistance than the other.

  • Factors that Affect the Resistance of Resistance Putty

    1362 Words  | 3 Pages

    Factors that Affect the Resistance of Resistance Putty This investigation is designed to look into the resistance of different materials, in this case, resistance putty in the form of wires, and their conducting capability in different shapes. We must bear in mind though that different thickness and length of the putty used to make up the wire itself will affect the electric conduction capability. Therefore, the factors are;  The thickness of the putty e.g. 1mm, 2mm, 3mm in diameter or 1

  • Experiment on Electrical Resistance

    2180 Words  | 5 Pages

    Electrical Resistance The electrical resistance of a material is its opposition to the flow of electric current (slowing the flow of electrons down). Resistance occurs when the electrons travelling along the wire collide with the atoms of the wire. These collisions slow down the flow of electrons causing resistance. Resistance is a measure of how hard it is to move the electrons through the wire. A current is the rate of the flow of charge (electrons) and the resistance controls the

    behavior is affected by our emotions, how we feel and what we say. One thing that affects us the most is our moods. We have more energy when we feel great, therefore, leading us to impulse buying. Purchasing a product can turn negative feelings and depression into happiness and laughter. We’re affected by states of mind. States of mind affect consumers decision-making. When we are under pressure or distracted, this affects our time, therefore we are influenced by consumers and act on impulse. When we

    of a Wire Affects Its Resistance Planning: Risk Assessment: * I will handle the power supply carefully. * I am going to only use a maximum voltage of 2 volts. * I will be careful when handling the mains equipment. * I will make sure I have a clear space to work in and nothing on the floor around me. In this investigation, I will set up a simple circuit to be able to read the voltage and current when the length of wire changes, so I then can work out the resistance. I will be

    the big picture, just like the piece of a puzzle; however, each one has a unique placement that no other piece can fill in. The variables that affect performance can be mostly classified into three major domains: motor active, affective, and cognitive. Some variables are internal, while others are external. The externalities, or outside factors that affect a performance, vary from situation to situation; nonetheless, they need to be dealt with in some way, so that the show can go on. The motor active
