Resistance
of wire
Step 1
Connect battery to
ammeter
the connect the ammeter to one end of the
resistance
wire
Step 2
Attach the resistance wire and metre ruler using crocodile clip at the zero
Step 3
Take second crodile clip and connect it to the other end of the metre ruler then attatch it to the other
terminal
of the battery
Step 4
Add
voltmeter
in parallel to the
battery
Step 5
Take measurements of the
100 cm
end to
30 cm
Step 6
Record
voltage
and
current
every
10 cm
Step 7
Work out
resistance
at each length of the wire by doing resistance =
voltage
/
current
