resistance of a lengthen wire practical Flashcards
draw the circuit diagram for the practical
…
what is the first step
attach a wire to a metre rule with tape and attach crocodile clips to the wire to connect it to the circuit
what is the second step
measure the distance between the crocodile clips using the metre rule and note this down. take the readings from the ammeter and voltmeter and use the equation r=v/I to get resistance. take multiple readings and take the mean
what is the third step
change the length of the wire by increasing or decreasing the distance between the crocodile clips and repeat step 2.
extra points to consider
turn circuit power of during readings as the temperature of the wire could affect resistance.
note down the size and type of wire.
