-
Using a pencil, draw a rectangle whose length (approximately 1")
is twice its width on a sheet of paper. Fill in the rectangle with pencil mark.
Measure and record the resistance over the length
and then over the width of the graphite resistor.
-
Using a pencil, draw a square whose side-length is approximately 1".
Fill in the square with pencil mark.
Measure and record the resistance over
the width of the graphite resisitor.
- Based on your measurements, draw conclusions relating
the physical dimensions and resistance.
