State the name of an apparatus that the student can use to measure the diameter of a wire accurately.
The student records the voltage and current immediately after switching on the circuit. Suggest a reason for taking the readings immediately.
Fig. 4.2 shows the ammeter and voltmeter when a wire of diameter $0.15\,\text{mm}$ is used. State the current and voltage readings for this wire.
The student repeats the experiment with a wire of diameter $0.24\,\text{mm}$. The voltmeter reading stays the same. Fig. 4.3 shows the updated ammeter reading.
Complete the results table in Fig. 4.4 for the experiment involving the two wires.
Use your results to suggest how the diameter of a wire is related to its resistance.
