Resistance and V=IR
- Potential Difference (V) = current (A) X resistance (Ω)
- Practical: investigating the factors affecting resistance
- Ammeter = measures the current flowing through the wire. It must be always placed in series
- voltmeter = measures the potential difference across the wire. Must be placed parallel around whatever you are investigating.
- Thin wires are best, and wire may heat up which affects resistance, therefore let it cool between readings by opening switch.
1. Attach a crocodile clip to wire level with 0cm on the ruler
2. Attach second crocodile clip to the wire (10 cm away). Note the length of wire in between the clips.
3. Close switch = record current and potential difference through the wire
4. Open switch = move second crocodile clip (another 10cm) = close switch = record new length, current and potential difference.
5. Repeat for different lengths of wire
6. Using measurements of current and potential difference, use R = V/I calculate resistance
7. Plot a graph of length wire against resistance. Draw a line of best fit
8. Graph should be a straight line through origin = resistance is directly proportional to length. Longer wire = greater resistance
9. If doesn’t go through origin = systematic errors.
