Adding resistance

Teaching Guidance for 14-16 Supporting Physics Teaching

Adding resistance – in two ways

As resistance is added, the total effective resistance may increase or decrease – it all depends on the number of loops.

Think about how to emphasise the difference between these two before you go on.
