Fusing currents in wires
This investigation can be used at GCSE or A-level and is looking at how different factors affect when a piece of wire will break when a current is passed through it. Students can alter the length of wire, the type of wire, the thickness of wire and see how this affects the value of current at which the wire breaks.
