[1 mark] A pupil carries out an experiment to investigate the situation in Figures 3.1 and 3.2. Figure 3.3 shows the arrangement of apparatus for the experiment.

Figure 3.3

The pupil takes the following steps: Step 1: Touch jockey at Q on the nichrome wire where the distance between P and Q is 30 cm. Step 2: Switch on and record the ammeter reading.

Science Form Three Energy In Life Step 3: Repeat step 1 and step 2 by using nichrome wire with the length of 40 cm, 50 cm, 60 cm and 70 cm respectively. (b) (i) Record the ammeter reading in the space provided. The length of nichrome wire = 30 cm Ammeter reading = 0.72 A

The length of nichrome wire = 40 cm Ammeter reading = A

The length of nichrome wire = 50 cm Ammeter reading = A

The length of nichrome wire = 60 cm Ammeter reading = A

The length of nichrome wire = 70 cm Ammeter reading = A
