Paper 3 Graphical Analysis (16 marks)

An experiment is carried out to investigate the relationship between the length of a wire, and its
resistance, R.
The arrangement of the apparatus is shown in Diagram 4.1. A rheostat, a switch, an ammeter, a
constantan wire and dry cells are connected in series.
A voltmeter is used to measure the potential difference, V, across the constantan wire between X and Y.

Diagram 4.1
A constantan wire of length, = 30.0 cm is connected between X and Y. When the switch is on, the
rheostat is adjusted untuk the ammeter reading is 0.2 A. The voltmeter reading, V, is as shown in
Diagram 4.2.
The procedure is repeated with constantan wires of length, = 40.0 cm, 50.0 cm, 60.0 cm, 70.0 cm and
80.0 cm. The corresponding volmeter readings across X and Y are shown in Diagram 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6
and 4.7.
