for this essay I investigated Ohms Law. I investigated the effect that the length and the thickness of wire had on the resistance.

SWG, 26 SWG and 28SWG (with 24 SWG being the thickest wire and 28 SWG being the thinnest).PredictionOhms Law states: "The current flowing through a metal wire is proportional to the potential differen ... you have readings from 5cm - 60cmPre-Test Results TableLENGTHCURRENT IN AMPSVOLTAGE IN VOLTSR=VI IN OHMS50.640.110.17100.670.220.33150.660.320.48200.660.430.65250.660.550.83300.620.610.98350.610.701.1 ...

Will the length of wire affect the resistance?

ill use a low voltage supply.CALCULATIONTo calculate the resistance of the wire we will have to use Ohms Law which is a triangle of voltage divided by current which will give me the totaled resistance ...
