using a breadboard two 1 k? and one 2.2 k? resistor inseries. Measured the resistance of each resistor using amultimeter. Recorded measurements in table. Measured the totalresistance of the combination of resistors using a multimeter

Used the DC power supply provided, apply 5 V DC across thecombination of resistors. Rather than relying on the power supplyreadings, used a voltmeter across the power supply to accuratelyset the 5 V supply voltage. Measured the current through thecircuit and the voltage across each resistor using the multimetersprovided

used ohm's law to calculate the resistance values based onmeasured currents and voltages and recorded them in Table

Resistor 1 1 2.2 Resistance measured (km) 1.001 1.005 2.186 Current through

a) If you set up the circuit, power it up and waited 1 hourbefore taking the measurements, would the answers be different.Explain your answer

b)For the series circuit practical, compare the measuredresistors (ie: calculated using Ohm?s law based on themeasured currents and voltages)with the actual resistors. Do theyagree within the calculated error values?

c)For the series circuit experiment, compare and comment on thecalculated total resistance vs measured total resistance.

d)What are the random errors in this experiment?

e)What are the systematic errors in this experiment?

f)Let?s assume your answers don?t fall within the error bounds.Explain reasons for this situation.
