resistance

PLANNING
AIM

In this investigation I intend to research how the length of a wire affects its resistance when connected to an electric circuit.

PREDICTIONS

My prediction is that the greater the length of the wire, the greater the resistance. I believe this because Electrons passing through the circuit will have more Metal atoms to collide with as it is obvious that there are more Metal atoms in a longer wire than a shorter one. The amount of collisions between the Electrons and the Metal atoms would vary the resistance (longer wire would increase the resistance and a shorter wire would decrease the resistance).
Also, the Electrons will travel at the same speed no matter what the length of the wire, therefore in a shorter wire the Electrons have a shorter distance to travel, because of this there is less time for resistance to build up. Hence there is less resistance in a shorter wire.
My final prediction is that there will patterns in the resistance according to the lengths ...
