Metal Wires (a Summary of the Experiment) essays

Metal Wires (a Summary of the Experiment) essays My projects name was Which type of wire conducts electricity Best? Copper or Aluminum. The reason I picked this project was because I wanted to learn about electricity. And what are different types of wires used. Also which wire is more possible to conduct high voltage and yet still be able to be safe? And also how and why is it safe? Those are the reasons why I picked this Experiment. So now I can learn all a lot that field of science. My hypothesis was If both Wires are made with the same materials (batteries, light bulbs, etc.) and were connected to the battery at the same time, then the Copper wire would mostly be able to stand the longest time without having the light bulb flicker or die at any moment in the experiment. Also I believe that the Aluminum wire would only last a couple of minutes before it would start flickering and final then turn off. As well the Copper wire might last about 10 minutes. And also the material I used were the follow too: Wire cutters - wire cutters were used to cut open the wires. Panasonic Batteries (9 volts) - to light the light bulbs. Small Light bulbs (3.8 volts) - used to conduct the light Copper wires - wire used in Experiment. Aluminum wires - wire used in Experiment. Electrical tape tape used for covering up any wire. Time Stop (watch) - to time the Light bulbs Batteries life (start, flickering, died, etc.). Paper and Pencil to write down the observed Data in the experiments trials. Porcelain Tile - surface used for connecting the wire to the light bulb (without burn the surface). Soldering Iron - tool used for connecting the wire and the light bulb. Alligator Clips - used to connect the wire to the battery. Procedures: 1. get wires and cut them open with the wire cutter.2. Get light bulb and wire and place them over the porcelain Tile.3. Using the soldering iron connect the wire to the light bulb. (+ and -).4. Then check for any openings in...
