Temperature and resistance

lab report To do list PartA Here we will discuss what results you got from the prior data as knowing what to do with the information given in a line equation often is more important than getting said equation. You must post before you can see what others have said feel free to comment on what others have done too.

1. What does the slope of the line represent?

2. Your y-intercept should be zero even though the value may not be zero due to the randomness of uncertainty with each data point. What argument can you make that in an ideal world the y-intercept would be zero?

3. Your data should be in a straight line explain what would change if the resistor was larger than the one used.

4. Before you go onto the next part make a prediction to what the lamp will look like use what you know from the first lab as a clue to the behavior of a lamp. PartB

Requirements: complete all questions

Part A plot data and graph no need to add the data to the assignment Use linear regression on the data showing slope y-intercept and uncertainties of both. Dont forget to calculate the resistance and uncertainty of it. Compare this data to the labelled resistance find the discrepancy and tolerance making sure it agrees. Part B plot data and graph no need to add data to the assignment This discussion involves what you did with the lamp since there really wasnt much that you did with that section this will be graded as part of the assignment. Answer to the best of your ability you will be graded based on how reasonable your answers are remember it always helps to write an extra sentence to explain why youre giving the answer that youre doing.You may notice that the lamps curve seemed to flatten out what does that tell us about the lamps resistance?How does current change compared to voltage as the voltage increases?How does the slope of curve change as the absolute value of voltage increases?As the light bulb gets bright presumably the filament that makes the light gets hotter what does this say about how the temperature and resistance are related? You may notice that the lamps curve seemed to flatten out what does that tell us about the lamps resistance? How does current change compared to voltage as the voltage increases?
