PRECAUTIONS
i)i ensured clean terminals
ii)i avoid zero error on the ammeter used
iii)i ensured tight connection of all wires
3b)
ohm's law states that the current flowing through a
metallic conductor is proportional to its portential
difference provided that physical condition is constant
i.e V x I
3c)
slope(s) = DR^-1/DI = 0.25-0.10/2.21-1.65
=0.15/0.56
slope(s)=0.27
intercept c = -0.35
evaluation
1/5=1/0.27=3.70
evalution
1/C = 1/-0.35
=-2.86

E&L
E=kL
E/L=k
E1/L1=E2/L2
l2=E2L1/E1=(1.5 *1)/2.5
L2=0.6cm
the new balance point when 1.5v cell is
connected across it is 0.6cm

i. i avoided error due to parallel
ii. i ensured that the mass is gently dropped into the
liquid
(1bi)
Archimedes principle states that when a body is wholly
or partly immersed in a liquid the weight of the body is
equal to the mass of the fluid displaced
1bii)
volume of the wood = 2.0 × 10^-5m^3
mass = 5.0 × 10^-3kg
g = 10.0ms^-2
density of water = 1.0 × 10^3kgm^-3
volume of object = mass/density
density = mass/volume
density of the object = mass of the object/volume
= 5.0×10^-3/2.0×10^-5
= 2.5×10^2kgm^3
upthrust = volume 0f the object × density of liquid × g
=2.0×10^-5 × 1.5×10^2×10
= 0.3N
