ASSIGNMENT 2 : THE EXPERIMENTAL RESISTANCE

I. Description

All the objects around us have its own amount of electric conductivity, some of then let the electricity runs wild and other just make it slow. This exercise is an attempt to control the flow of electric current, and show in a tangible way the electric current activity.

Using colored water with a dilution of different conductive materials like salt, soap and vinegar, this circuit makes different noises when the resistance of the piece of paper decreases due the amount of conductive solution in it. The result is a visual color mixing game that plays various sounds according with the ingredient diluted in the colored solution.
