Question:

A second set of data was obtained using thicker pieces of putty. Both sets of results are shown in graph 2. What is the relationship between the resistance and the thickness of the conducting putty?

Respuesta :

The resistance of the thin wire is greater than the resistance of the thick wire because the thin wire has fewer electrons to carry the current. Therefore, for thinner pieces of conducting putty we have the larger resistance and for the thicker pieces of conducting putty we have the lower resistance.
