Revision
PRACTICAL: Investigating Resistance
- Investigating resistance in series:
- Investigate resistance in parallel:
- In series = adding resistors, increases total resistance as adding resistors decreases total current
- More resistors= larger resistance in series
- In parallel = total current increases, so total resistance increases.
- More resistors = smaller overall resistance
1. Find four identical resistors
2. Build a circuit (a cell, resistor, ammeter). Note the potential difference of the battery
3. Measure the current using the ammeter. Use R=V/I calculate resistance
4. Add another resistor, in series, to the circuit
5. Measure the current and the potential difference. Calculate the resistance
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all resistors have been added
7. Plot a graph of number of resistors against total resistance
1. Build the same initial circuit using the same equipment as before.
2. Measure the total current and calculate the resistance
3. Add another resistor in parallel with the first
4. Measure the total current and using the potential difference of battery, calculate the overall resistance.
5. Repeat 3 and 4 until all resistors have been added
6. Plot a graph of number of resistors against total resistance
