Measuring resistivity of a wire

In case you have not cared about this, but have you ever considered how electric wires operate? You are important part of our everyday life. Let’s find out how much electricity can travel through a wire. That is crucial in terms of making electric gears functioning. This knowledge assists us in being safe and effective in utilizing electricity. Well, here we go, into the world of electric wires. 

We first need to understand what is meant by resistance before we can learn how we measure the flow of electricity. Resistance is a word that indicates the difficulty of moving electricity through a wire. It’s like trying to walk through a room full of people — the more people (or things in the way), the harder it is to get through. Resistance Wire by TS Heating Alloy depends on three things length of a wire, thickness of a wire and what it is made of. 

The Resistivity Experimen

The longer a wire is, the harder it normally is for electricity to pass through it. Think of trying to smoothly push a ball through a long tube, so you need more effort. Electricity can also pass through thinner wires; however, it is again less able to do so. Similar to trying to sip a thick milkshake through a dinky straw — it just doesn’t work very well! Moreover, some materials resist the flow of electricity more than others. Rubber, for instance, is a poor conductor, whereas metals like copper are fine conductors. 

We will then hook the wire up to the power and set the voltage to a certain amount. Voltage is similar to the push that allows the current to flow through the TS Heating Alloy wire. Then we will use the ammeter to measure the current flowing through the wire at that time. It’s a bit like gauging how quickly a river has flowed. Finally, we will use the voltmeter to measure the voltage across the wire. This allows us to determine how great the electrical push is.
