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 http://www.alevelphysicsonline.com/ye...

Thanks for watching,

Lewis
