length affecting resistance

Cards (7)

  • attatch crocodile clip to wire with ocm on ruler
  • attatch second croc clip to wire 10 cm away from first and record length
  • close the switch and record pd and current using voltmeter and ammeter
  • open switch then move croc clip another 10 cm , close switch and record length , pd and current
  • repest this for number of length
  • use v=ir to get resistance for each length of the wire
  • plot a graph for resistance and wire length, should be directly proportional with line of best fit
