GCSE Physics Coursework - Resistance of a Wire Coursework

Introduction

We are finding the resistance a length of copper wire by using a vote meter (V) and a ammeter (A)

Theory

Resistance is when electricity is passed through a circuit and is measured for finding how easy the current goes through the circuit

It is measured the by finding the current that is present in the circuit and the voltage across the wire, then is placed in this formula: V= I/R  

Perditions

My perditions are that the longer the wire the greater the resistance. This happens then the wire is longer there are more free elections to collide with other free elections. Therefore more energy will be lost as heat
