work for electric field

Here we calculated the work of a charged particle in an electric field by munipulating our original definition of work.  

This was the set up for measuring the amps that were flowing through the battery

This is our voltage vs current graph where we obtained from the above circuit. using our data we compared our data to our neighbors data to see any differences in the graph. the slope of our graphs represent the resistance. when we found the same slope we looked at both coils and saw that both of the resistors had the same number of loops around the wooden stick.


using the graph we were able to conclude that there is a direct relationship between voltage and current. so if the current is small then the resistance is large. 

Using the set up below, we were able to obtain data recording the resistance through each coil. From this we were able to derive a relationship between resistance and length, section area, and material of resistor. 


The is the set up of how we tested each resistor. To the left are all the resistors that were tested to derive our previous relationships.
