CHAPTER XVIII. ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE 120

Resistance.--Exp. 118, To study the general effect of

"resistance" upon a current.--External Resistance; Internal

Resistance; Unit of Resistance; The Ohm.--Resistance Coils;

Resistance Boxes.--Simple Resistance Coil.--Exp. 119, To

test the power of various substances to conduct galvanic

electricity.--Conductors and Nonconductors.--Exp. 120, To

find the effect of sulphuric acid upon the conductivity

of water.--Internal Resistance.--Exp. 121, To find what

effect the length of a wire has upon its electrical

resistance.--Discussion.--Exp. 122, To find what effect the

size (area of cross-section) of a wire has upon its electrical

resistance.--Discussion.--Exp. 123, To compare the resistance of

a divided circuit with the resistance of one of its branches.

Discussion.--Exp. 124, To study the effect of decreasing the

resistance in one branch of a divided circuit.--Current in

Divided Circuits.
