Physics sensor coursework!

hi ppl, i am doing physics as-level, and we got this project due the tenth of january 2007. we have to make a sensor and do some research on it and do some readings and things like that. for example, this guy did frequency of a soundspeaker, heat sensor and the temperature, oscilloscopes and frequencies and many more like that. i have done the practical bit, but now i have to do all the writing, planning, graphs and all the rest.so i am asking people if they know what will come in the contents? like everything that needs to be there. for example, i know aims, plans, graphs must be there, anything else? please tell me and is anyone else doing this coursework.it's for as-level physics. thanks and we also got exams coming up, so please help, bye

If you go onto the exam board website they give you the specifications for free which will tell you exactly what you need to cover in your report.
 
Thread 'Correct statement about size of wire to produce larger extension'
The answer is (B) but I don't really understand why. Based on formula of Young Modulus: $$x=\frac{FL}{AE}$$ The second wire made of the same material so it means they have same Young Modulus. Larger extension means larger value of ##x## so to get larger value of ##x## we can increase ##F## and ##L## and decrease ##A## I am not sure whether there is change in ##F## for first and second wire so I will just assume ##F## does not change. It leaves (B) and (C) as possible options so why is (C)...
