1. Electric current flows from the negative terminal to the positive terminal outside a battery, but inside the battery it flows from the positive to the negative terminal due to the movement of ions.
2. An ammeter measures electric current in amperes (A) and Ohm's law states the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance as voltage equals current times resistance (V=IR).
3. Increasing resistance increases temperature because there are more electron collisions; decreasing resistance decreases temperature because there are fewer collisions. Temperature and resistance are directly related, while current and resistance are inversely related according to Ohm's law.

Electrons inside the battery are able to move because they do it via charged chemicals called ions, which can dissolve off the electrodes. The electrons inside the battery are negative, so they flow from the negative terminal to the positive terminal.
The path for current, however, goes from the positive terminal (+) to the negative terminal (-) The current makes a continuous loop in the same direction, so the direction for inside the battery is backwards 2. The Ammeter measures the electric current thats in a circuit. Electric currents are measured in amperes (A) Its shown as the direction of the pinwheel in this simulation. 3. Ohms law: Voltage= Current x Resistance, or V= IR. Voltage is measured in volts, Current is measured in amps, and resistance is measured in ohms. The green dots represent the ohms. The purpose of a resistor in a circuit is to limit the amount of electrical current that passes through the circuit. Therefore the equation would be rewritten as I= V/R 4. If you increase the resistance it increases the temperature because a change in resistivity and therefore a change in resistance is proportional to the temperature change. There is more electron scattering and therefore more collisions. This is a helpful visual formula I found online:
5. When a circuit gets hotter the current decreases. This is because the materials in the circuit have their resistance increased, as they get hotter. The increased temperature interferes with the energy transmission by the electrons. Some of the assumptions of the Kinetic Molecular Theory is that the average kinetic energy depends of the temperature. Higher temp.= higher kinetic energy= faster particle movement. When particles collide the collisions are elastic. If one particle gains kinetic energy another loses energy so that the average remains constant. 6. To make the circuit cold you need to decrease the amount of resistance, because as stated before in question four, temperature is directly proportional to resistance. There would be less electron scattering and fewer collisions. This would result in a lower temperature. 7. The relationship between voltage and temperature isnt a direct one because they are both units of different forms of energy. However, Current = Voltage/Resistance. Therefore, the greater the voltage for the same resistance creates more current, and as a result more energy. Some of this is released as heat and this will raise the temperature.
Resistance in a Wire
1. The variables are rho, length, and amps. The units they are measured is: is resistivity of the material in (omega) cm L is length in cm A is cross-sectional area in cm squared
The formula is: R = L/A 2. After increasing the resistivity, the wire had more black dots appear inside it. Since the resistivity increased and the rest of the variables remained constant, the resistance R also increased. Therefore, they have a direct relationship to the formula that was just written above. Yes, this is something that can be changed in a resistor that you could buy at a store. 3. If you increase the length the resistance also increases because there will be more collisions between atoms and electrons due to the longer distance that has to be traveled. 4. If you increase the area the resistance changes. The resistance decreases because there will be fewer collisions due to the wider space. 5. To summarize, length (cm) and resistance (ohms) have a direct relationship. As one increases or decreases and the other factors remain constant, the other will as well. The area, A, measured in cm squared, and resistance (ohms) have an inverse relationship because if one increases the other will decrease and vice versa. Resistivity ( measured in omega cm) and resistance (ohms) have a direct relationship as well because if one increases the other will as well.
Ohms Law
1. A combination of a current (I) at 10.9 mA and a resistance (R) at 550 omega = Voltage of 6 A combination of a current (I) at 20.7 mA and a resistance (R) at 290 omega =Voltage of 6 A combination of a current (I) at 6.9 mA and a resistance (R) at 870 omega =Voltage of 6
2. The relationship between current and resistance is an inverse one. If resistance increases, current will decrease and vice versa. This is because Ohms law is Voltage= Current x Resistance 3. If you could decrease the resistance to zero, this would mean there would be no substances preventing a voltage from producing current. Therefore, any voltage would produce infinite current.
