Section B [16 marks] 1. A student carries out an experiment to investigate the relationship between the potential difference, V, across a wire and the length, L, of the wire. Diagram 1.1 shows the circuit used in the experiment.

DIAGRAM 1.1 A constantan wire of length, L = 20.0 cm is connected between P and Q. When the switch is on, the rheostat is adjusted to obtain a current of 0.20 A. The potential difference, V across the wire is measured by a voltmeter. Diagram 1.2 shows the reading of the voltmeter. The procedure is repeated with constantan wire of lengths, L = 30.0 cm, 40.0 cm, 50.0 cm and 60.0 cm. The corresponding readings of the ammeter and voltmeter are shown in Diagrams 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6 and 1.7. For each step, a current of 0.20 A was used.
