Resistance Lab

Purpose: Determine the resistance of an unknown resister Materials: DC power supply, Galvanometer, resister, conductors Procedure: Build a circut with power supply, resister and galvanometer. Vary the voltage and read the corresponding currrent. Data: Voltage                            Current (*10E-6 amps) 0————————————0 1————————————2.5 5.5———————————-21 7.5———————————-60 10———————————-100 11.9——————————–120 Data Analysis: Equation of Best Fit Line: y=90113.75+1.425 Conclusion Our resistance level […]

Electrostatics Experience

Step 1: Rub a balloon briskly across your hair, then hold the balloon over the bits of paper Step 1 Observation: The balloon attracted Stanton’s hair (the negatively charged electrons were tranfered to the baloon, attracting the postive protons in Stanton’s hair) Step 2: Hold the balloon over little bits of paper. Step 2 Obseravtion: […]
