Using prior explorations with the model, make a prediction about how wire type will impact current. The model contains three types of wire, each with a different resistance. Resistance is an electrical quantity that measures how the material reduces electric current flow through it. The materials in the model are lead, tin, and aluminum. Use the chart of resistance and the screenshots below to identify what metal matches each model state.
| Tin |
11.5 x10-8 Ohm m |
| Aluminum |
2.65 x10-8 Ohm m |
| Lead |
22 x 10-8 Ohm m |
The Ohm meter is a measure of resistivity, with higher values reflecting greater resistance.
