How can I expand my extended essay subject?

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The original poster is working on an extended essay focused on direct current measurement techniques and is seeking ways to expand their content from 2000 to 4000 words. They mention a limitation regarding the use of alternating current due to a lack of necessary apparatus.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants suggest exploring additional topics such as voltage and current measurements, resistance measurements, and the impact of meter impedance on measurements. There is also a mention of including considerations for lab tolerances and error propagation.

Discussion Status

Some guidance has been offered regarding potential areas to expand upon, and participants are actively questioning the inclusion of data tables in the word count. The discussion reflects a collaborative effort to explore various aspects of the topic without reaching a consensus.

Contextual Notes

The original poster is constrained by the apparatus available for their research and is also uncertain about specific formatting rules related to word count, particularly concerning data tables.

Homework Statement


Hi, I have chosen direct current measurement techniques as my extended essay subject. I've written only 2000 words, but I am completely out of anything to write.
I can't do alternative current, because I don't have the necessary apparatus.
How can I expand my subject so I can fill out 4000 words?

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution

 
Physics news on Phys.org
Have you talked about:

  • both voltage and current measurements?
  • resistance measurements?
  • the role of the meter's impedance (resistance) in the measurements?
 
Don't forget lab tolerances and error propagation and a prologue thank you to your parents and inspirational teachers.
 
Thanks, I was about to forget about those. I haven't checked the impedance either. Another question is, shoul data tables be added to the word count?

:rolleyes: It's the opposite that's the real rare valuable talent out there in the big world. :cool::wink:

You'll have to ask your teacher.
