Objective : to determine if battery’s power follow’s a decay curve.

Hypothesis: the capacity of battery gradually decrease over time as it is discharged and recharged with
the rate of decay depending on type of battery

Materials:

One battery Ammeter

Pencil graph paper

Charger timer

Phone

Specification 

Factors to be varied

Controlled : battery

Independent : how long the battery last

Dependent : the amount of current the battery had

diagram

Procedure

1. connect the fully charge battery on the phone and power it on

2. start the timer minute the phone on

3 use the ammeter to read how much current passes through the battery
4 stop the timer when the phone dies and see how long it lasted

5 record your reading

6 repeat step 1 to 5 10 times and see the difference

7 do a graph with your 10 readings and see the result if it and curve

Manipulation

A) The results will be recorded on a graph after the producer/step are followed
B) Drawing of how it will be done

C) The battery life follows a decay curve after the graph was plotted

Modification: the time of how long it too the battery to full charge could have been taken

Limitation: the battery overheated after time and had to leave it to rest from sometime

Precaution : keep the battery away from fire and do this experiment in a cool environment
