1 In this experiment you will investigate an electrical circuit. You are provided with several groups of resistors connected in parallel. (a) Assemble the circuit as shown in Fig. 1.1 A, B, C, D and E are crocodile clips. Measure and record the length Lo of the resistance wire between the ends of A and B, as shown in Fig. 1.1. Lo = …………………………… [1] (b) (i) Select from the groups of resistors connected in parallel, N=4 and connect it across D and E as shown in Fig.1.1. (ii) Close the switch. Move C along the wire until the voltmeter reading is zero. Measure and record the distance L between A and C when the voltmeter reading is zero, as shown in Fig. 1.1. L = …………………………… [1] Open the switch. ©YIJC [Turn over  to nearest mm with units  0.580 m  Lo  0.620 m [1] 60.0 cm (0.600 m)  nearest mm with units  L depends on N and is less than Lo [1] 16.8 cm (0.168 m) 3

(c) Select a different group of resistors and repeat (b)(ii) until you have at least six sets of values of N and L. Record your results in a table. Include values of and in your table of results.
