Conductor, ℓ, with the resistance, R

  A student carries out an experiment to study the relationship between the length of a
     conductor, ℓ, with the resistance, R. The circuit is connected as shown in Diagram 1.1.
     Seorang murid menjalankan eksperimen untuk mengkaji hubungan antara panjang suatu  
      konduktor, ℓ, dengan rintangan , R . Sambungan litar .ditunjukkan pada Rajah 1.1



     The length of the constantan wire between P and Q is adjusted so that its length,
      = 20.0 cm.  The switch is on and the rheostat is adjusted until the current, I, flowing in the circuit is 0.2 A.  The potential difference, V, across the wire is recorded.
     
Dawai konstantan dengan panjang, ℓ = 20.0 cm diletakkan  antara P dan Q . Suis dihidupkan dan reostat dilaraskan sehingga arus elektrik , I, yang mengalir di dalam litar adalah 0.2 A. Beza keupayaan merentasi dawai , V, di rekodkan.

The procedure is repeated by varying the values of  ℓ  to be 30.0 cm, 40.0 cm, 50.0 cm and 60.0 cm.  For each length of wire used, the rheostat is adjusted so that the current is at a constant value of 0.2 A.  The corresponding readings of the voltmeter are shown in Diagram 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6.

     Prosedur  di ulang  dengan menggantikan panjang dawai konstantan, ℓ dengan nilai
      30.0 cm, 40.0 cm, 50 cm dan 60 cm. Untuk setiap panjang dawai konstantan , reostat  dilaraskan supaya arus elektrik sentiasa mengalir pada nilai tetap 0.2 A. Bacaan-bacaan yang sepadan bagi voltmeter adalah ditunjukkan pada Rajah  1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 dan 1.6.
