8 A student carried out an experiment to study the relationship between resistance and
current. Diagram 8.1 shows the arrangement of apparatus for the experiment.

DIAGRAM 8.1

The procedure of experiment is as follows:

Step 1: Set up the circuit using the 1 Ω resistor.

Step 2: Close the switch and observe the brightness of the bulb and record the ammeter
reading.
Step 3: Repeat step 2 with a 2 Ω, 5 Ω and 10 Ω resistor respectively.

(a State the variables involved in the experiment.

)

Manipulated variable : ……………………………………………………….

Responding variable : ……………………………………………………….

Fixed variable : ……………………………………………………….
