    Two Factors Affecting The Brightness of Led Light Bulb: Sorsogon National High School Sorsogon City S.Y. 2018 - 2019

    This document summarizes a student experiment on the factors affecting LED bulb brightness. The experiment tested how the length of connecting wires and the temperature of the wires impact bulb brightness. They found that a shorter wire length resulted in brighter bulb light, supporting their hypothesis. They also found that heating the exposed wire section diminished bulb brightness, supporting their hypothesis about the inverse relationship between temperature and resistance.

    BACKGROUND

    Resistance is a force tends to oppose motion. It is measured in ohms,


    symbolized by the Greek letter omega (Ω). Ohms are named after Georg Simon
    Ohm (1784-1854), a German physicist who studied the relationship between
    voltage, current and resistance. Specifically, it is the shortened form of electrical
    resistance. In terms of electrical resistance, it is the opposition of a material to flow
    of charges. According to the formula given for resistance, the flow of the charges
    (I) is inversely proportional to the resistance (R). Thus, there are many factors that
    affect the flow of charges or the flow of current in a material. To enumerate, there
    are four factors that affect the resistance of a material: (1) cross-sectional
    area/diameter of the material used, (2) length of the material, (3) resistivity or
    what kind of material is used; and (4) temperature around the material.

    OBJECTIVES

     To present these factors using commonly used material in making a simple


    circuit.
     To show how the length of a material and temperature affect the flow of
    current.
     To further understand the effects of length and temperature to resistance
    using commonly used materials.

    HYPOTHESIS

     If the length of wire used is longer, then the greater its resistance. If the
    length of wire used is shorter, then the lesser its resistance.
     If the wires used are shorter, then the bulb will light brighter.
     If the wire used is heated, then the greater its resistance. If the wire used is
    cooled, then the lesser its resistance.
     As the higher temperature applied, the lower the bulb will bright.

    MATERIALS

     1 LED bulb
     2 different length of wires
     1 size D battery
     1 battery holder
     Matches
     Pliers

    METHODS

    1. Prepare all materials needed.


    2. Remove the insulator/cover of the wire using pliers.
    3. Cut the wires into different length.
    4. Connect the wires, the LED bulb, and the battery in their respective
    connection like a series type of circuit.
    5. Observe the flow of the current in the two different length of wires and while
    certain temperature applied.

    DATA ANALYSIS

     For the first factor (length);


    1. Test the circuit/flow of current with a longer wire.
    2. Observe the brightness emitted by the LED bulb.
    3. Test the circuit/flow of current with a shorter wire.
    4. Observe the brightness emitted by the LED bulb.
     For the second factor (temperature);
    1. Test the circuit with a longer wires without applying heat to the
    exposed section of wire.
    2. Observe the brightness emitted by the LED bulb.
    3. Test the circuit with a longer wires while applying heat to the exposed
    section of wire.
    4. Observe the brightness emitted by the LED bulb.

    When the exposed section of the wire was heated, the group observed a
    brighter light emission by the LED lightbulb.

    CONCLUSION AND RESULTS

    Applying heat to the exposed wire lessen the brightness of the LED light thus,
    affecting the flow of the current in the circuit and proving the second hypothesis
    made that temperature is inversely proportional to resistance.
