Sample of Calculations:
For second resistor: Theoretical value = 3.25 K. Experimental value = 3.204 K. Percentage error = ({(theoretical value experimental value)/}theoretical value)*100% = ({1.42% = 100%*(3.25/{)52.3 402.3( Color code value: orange orange Red Gold 3 3 *100 5% value =3.3 0.05 K. *resistance between your hands 1- R anas =220 K. 2- R hamza =290 K. 3- R Mohammed =750 K.

To calculate the value of current (I) through resistor we will use the Ohms low:

V = I*R

where: I = current in Ampere (A). R = resistor in Ohm () V = voltage in Volt (V). I = V/R = 2.63mA. To calculate the dissipated power (P) through the resistor we use the following low:

P = I*V
P = I*V = 4.99*2.63 = 13.1237mW.

Conclusion:
In this experiment we learnt about the equipments of electrical circuit lab and use them to measure the components of the electrical circuit for example we connected the Ameter in series with resistor to read the value of the current through it and connected the Voltmeter in parallel with resistor to read the value of voltage across it. We faced many errors in this experiment as error in connect part of circuit and error in using the equipment and taking reading and using correct unit for our calculations ---etc.
