Light Intensity Hypothesis § A light bulb gives out light when electricity passes through it § The more volts you add, the more intense the light is. As you double the voltage, the light intensity doubles. § This is because the rays are more concentrated. The rays are twice as concentrated as the intensity doubles, as more power is running through the circuit § The LDR (Light dependent resistor) measures how intense the light is § The LDR frees up electrons, decreasing resistance
there is enough electricity to power each and every light. Throughout this paper, we examine Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law the sum of the electrical potential differences around any closed network is zero [1]. Represented by the equation ΣV=0, which means v1+ v2+ v3+…+ vn=0 [2]. A way at looking at this equation in words is by the sum of the voltage rises in the loop will equal the sum of voltage drops in the loop [2]. By applying this principle electrical engineers can use this to determine if there is
of electrons round the circuit. Ohm's law states that the voltage is equal to the current multiplied by the resistance - V=IR This can be re-arranged to say R=V/I. Ohms law states that in a metal component the ratio of voltage to current remain constant, meaning that the resistance stays the same as long as the temperature remains the
mainly used as uncontrolled rectifiers to convert single-phase or three- phase AC voltage to a rippled DC voltage. Typically they are constructed of a mixture of differently doped silicon or germanium. Most common are the silicon diodes because they can operate at higher currents and junction temperatures then germanium diodes. All diodes are devices that conduct current in only one direction. Whenever the voltage on the anode is positive with respect to the cathode, the dio... ... middle of paper
Digital Volt-Ohm Meter, resistance check on some of these sensors could ruin the sensor as some of the DVOM’s have to much internal resistance and send to much current through the component. Knowing when to do a resistance check and when to check voltage drop across components is critical, and knowing what the reading should be. Being able to break down a schematic to diagnosis it, can it be broken into smaller segments to make the diagnosis easier. With computers controlling more systems on the groundside
Investigating Which Metal Combination Gives Out the Most Voltage in a Solution Background Metals are an order of chemical elements in the periodic table. They are arranged in atomic number. All of them are solid (apart from mercury), good thermal and electrical conductors and are shiny when polished. Metals and non - metals are separated in the table by a diagonal line. -------------------------------------------------------------------- The reactivity series is a table to show
ELECTROCHEMICAL CELLS Purpose: In this experiment, several different half-cells will be prepared and connected to find the voltages generated. Also, the concentration will be change in one of the solutions to see how this affects the cell potential. Thirdly, the electrical potential of a cell containing silver and silver chloride will be measured. Lastly, a cell containing copper (II) and ammonia will be constructed. The potential and the Nernst equation will be used to calculate the formation
localized in such devices as lamps, heaters and resistors in which it predominates, although it is a characteristic of every part of a circuit, including connecting wires and electric transmission lines. In circuits where the current (I) and voltage (V) are related by a simple proportionality constant, as in OHM'S LAW, V = RI, the proportionality constant R is the resistance of the circuit. This discovery was made by Georg Simon Ohm (1787-1854), a German physicist, therefore, Ohm is the
wire ================================================= In this experiment we used a meter stick with wire running down it to measure the resistance at different distances to decide whether resistance increases over distance. We changed the voltage or potential difference 10 times at each length, but in the results table and graph I have only used the first result from each measurement. APPARATUS Meter stick mounted with wire 1 Ammeter 1 Voltmeter Wire 1 Variable resistor
with his and the voltmeter I will be able to work put resistance (R=V/I). As a safety consideration I will keep the Current under 0.5 amps, so the wire doesn't get too hot. · Rheostat- So I can vary the voltage in the circuit to take two readings for each wire at different voltages, I will work out an average of the two to reduce the margin of error. · Switch- A safety consideration, so the wire doesn't overheat and burn if the circuit is left on for too long. I have decided to test
Establishing the Current-Voltage Relationship For a Metal Conductor Investigation- To Establish The Current- Voltage Relationship For A Metal Conductor. In this experiment I will be investigating the current- voltage relationship for a metal conductor. The variables that I need to keep constant in this experiment are: 1. Thickness of the wire. 2. Length of the wire 3. Input of voltage coming from the power supply should be kept constant. 4. Temperature of wire should be
current around the circuit, so the longer the wire, the higher the current. I can check the voltage, current and resistance to prove that my hypothesis is correct by using ohms law which is V=I*R (V=volts, I=amps and R = resistance). I can re-arrange this formula to find the resistance by saying R=V/I, so when I record my results, I should divide the volts by the current to give me the resistance. The voltage and the resistance are directly proportional. Equipment: A voltammeter. An ammeter
resistance. As the potential difference (voltage) between the ends of conductor is increased the current passing through it increases. If the temperature of the conductor doesn't change, the current that flows is proportional to the voltage applied. This is called Ohms Law. Ohms Law= Potential Difference x Current or Potential Difference = resistance x current or The unit of resistance is measured in Ohms (W). Measuring Resistance The voltage across the resistor is measured using
and the reading can be anything between these values. In theory, if we had eyesight well enough, we could distinguish arbitrary small differences in the temperature. If the reading of the thermometer were converted to an electrical form, such as voltage, we would have an analogue signal. In a mobile communications network, part of the transmission connection uses a radio link and another part uses 2Mbit/s PCM links. Radio transmission is used between the Mobile Station (MS) and the Base Transceiver
whether the voltage affects the amount of gas produced during the electrolysis of sodium chloride solution. Prediction: I think that hydrogen gas will be produced due to the half equation 2H +2e àH this will be produced at the cathode because opposites attract and the hydrogen ions are positive. At the anode I think that chlorine will be produced due to the half equation 2CL -2e àCL the chlorine ions are negative so they are attracted to the positive electrode. I also think that as the voltage is increased
on the LDR (Light Dependant Resistor) affects the Resistance. We can change the intensity using different methods. One method is to increase the voltage, by plugging the power supply to a higher voltage. But this method can be hard as you might not be able to know how higher the voltage is, it might be harder to have access to higher voltage, as it is dangerous. Another way is to change the brightness by adjusting the power supply. Also the distance between the bulb and the LDR is another

Car Aim Use the information to investigate what influences the price of a second hand car. Introduction I’m going to find out what it is that affects the price of a second hand car. Hypothesis I think that the main factors in the drop of car prices are the age and mileage; this is because they give us a good indication as to what the cars price and other information could be. Plan I am going to prove this by making scatter graphs which compare the age and mileage with the

Coming down from the clouds, people sitting at their window, watching the beauty of nature is what I see. Sounds like a great sight, huh?! Most people love the scenes the nature has created today, others don't. Let me share it with you! Let's start off with why I would be happy! There are countless reasons to be happy. One is because i give life to a tree, a
Day 1 Once upon a time high above the earth, fluffy white clouds drifted through the atmosphere. In the clouds lived a family Droplet of water, round and content with life. For as long as I could remember, I spent my days lying on my back, relaxing and soaking up the sun's warm rays. One day, I took my usual place in the sun but the light didn't seem to be as bright. In fact, as the day went on, it grew darker and darker, loud claps of thunder shook the cloud, and the Droplet felt as if he were
