I have a few graphs for this experiment and they're all linear, thanks a ton for the help with that question. So essentially wires are filled to max capacity and once their power source is activated the electrons have to travel a very small distance (so small that 1 mm/s is fast enough to...

wukunlin: The carbon resistor used in our experiment was manufactured to have a resistance of 147Ω and by measuring V and I of our circuit, then plugging that into Ohm's Law we calculated 150Ω, so that's where the 2% error is from. (sorry if this doesn't actually answer your question)...

1) An Ohmic device is one that obeys Ohm’s Law. According to your data, are carbon resistors Ohmic devices? Support your answer with references to your graphs and/or equations. 2) When a typical circuit is switched on, the net displacement of electrons along a wire is about 1 mm per second. If...

So that means my expected slope would be ~4? This was a pendulum experiment for T^2 vs L and and oscillating spring for T^2 vs M'. M' is the mass of our hook + spring + added weight, while M is just the mass of our weight added to the hook and spring. Through my notes I found the equation T^2...

Homework Statement What is the expected slope of the line? What was the actual slope of the line of best fit? Calculate the gravity constant g from the slope of your graph Homework Equations k = (Mg) / (y_0 - y) 4pi^2/g x L = T^2 The Attempt at a Solution I understand how to...
