Robert Cinca - Physics Using the above processed data, I have come up with the following relationship between time data, and current: Using the surge above current processed I I have come processed data, final have come up up with with the the following following relationship relationship between surge current time time and and final final current: current: Primary relationship: surge current time and final current Primary relationship: surge surge current current time time and and final final current current My results indicate an inverse-square relationship between the final current and the surge current time, an which confirms the relationship trend I got with my 6.5V 0.15A filament bulb: My results indicate inverse-square between the and the inverse-square relationship between the final final current current and the surge current time, which which confirms confirms the the trend trend I I got got with with my my 6.5V 6.5V 0.15A 0.15A filament filament bulb: bulb: Figure 9: Graph representing Surge Current Time and Final Current Figure Figure 9: 9: Graph Graph representing representing Surge Surge Current Current Time Time and and Final Final Current Current Analysis: Analysis: Analysis: My line of best fit is: ΔT = (0.02 ± 0.01) I -2 - (0.04 ± 0.11). Taking into account my My fit ΔT ± ± 0.01) I I -2 -2 - best 0.11). into my uncertainty in the y-intercept, line of fit ± ± suggests proportionality between ΔT = = (0.02 (0.02 my 0.01) - (0.04 (0.04 0.11). Taking Taking into account account my the My line line of of best best fit is: is: 2 uncertainty in line fit proportionality between the surge current time and 1/(final my current) . best My results for the 6.5V 0.30A filament bulb uncertainty in the the y-intercept, y-intercept, my line of of best fit suggests suggests proportionality between the 2 2 surge current time and 1/(final current) . My results for the 6.5V 0.30A filament bulb give a similar trend discovered with my 6.5V 0.15A filament bulb, which is the surge current time and 1/(final current) . My results for the 6.5V 0.30A filament bulb give a trend discovered with 0.15A filament bulb, inverse square proportionality the surge current time and which final is current. give a similar similar trend discovered between with my my 6.5V 6.5V 0.15A filament bulb, which is the the inverse square proportionality between the surge current time and final current. inverse square proportionality between the surge current time and final current. 34 16
