Young's Modulus of Copper - PRACTICAL - A Level Physics
In this video I go through an AQA Physics A Level Required Practical that uses a Young's Modulus experiment to calculate the Young's Modulus of copper wire. (This is AQA Required Practical 4.) This is also the OCR A Level Physics PAG 2.1 Practical.
This is a straight-forward way to measure the Young's Modulus of a material. Copper wire is often used as it is stretched by weights hung over the edge of the bench, with the small extension carefully measured with a ruler. Wear eye protection in-case the wire snaps.
See instructions for all the practicals at www.alevelphysicsonline.com/ye...
Thanks for watching,
Lewis

The 9 dislikes were the people whose wire snapped and hit their eyes.

Cheers mate helped a lot all these videos with these TAG assessments coming up
Isnt the length L from the fixed end at the G clamp right until the end of the wire? Just need to clarify please
Surely as you are stretching the wire, the cross-sectional area will get smaller? Wouldn't this throw off results, as another variable is changing?

Matt Whitelock You're right, the assumption we make is that this decrease is very small and can be ignored from our calculations for working out the stress.

A Level Physics Online Ah okay, thank you that makes sense
Since YM= stress/strain could you not plot a graph of stress against strain, where the gradient is now the YM?

It's a lot simpler to do it that way. I guess it was just to show the relationships

Because the stress (adjusted using the masses) will be the independent variable, and independent variables are usually plotted on the x-axis.

Why do you use pi*D^2/4 and how does that differ from using PI*r^2

It is the same - but I used the diameter in the equation as that’s what you actually measure.
Hi 👋 I just had a question, how would you calculate the percentage uncertainty in the force if you have multiple different forces that you are applying to the object? Secondly, once you work out the percentage uncertainty in the force, area, extension and original length, how can you calculate the percentage uncertainty in the Young Modulus altogether?
@boingk2585

Find the abs uncertainty for the masses (tbh this should be given) then use it to calculate the percent uncertainty. Even when you add more masses the percent uncertainty should remain the same since the masses are uniform
@boingk2585

And to work out ym uncertainty in percent, add the force, area, extension and length percent uncertainties together

why do you measure the young modulus for copper in this way and not in the same way as steel?

how would you convert mm^2 to m when calculating the wire cross sectional area?
@Minecraftster148790

well mili = 10^-3, so 1 milimetre is 10^-3 metres. When that is squared the exponent doubles, so it would be 10^-6. So we take the value in milimetres and multiply by 10^-6

Convert the number in the beginning to make them all into meters then work out the area

Calculate the value of Young's modulus of Brass wire by hanging the weight 0g, 500g, 1000g. Perform the whole experiment in Uranus.
why does l have to be as long as possible you never said why
