    Resistors are electrical devices which manage the flow of current through a circuit, creating a drop in voltage between two points. Resistors rely on ohm's law, which maintains that the voltage shift between two ends of a conductor is held in proportion to the current moving through the conductor. The tolerance is the percentage of error that the resistor has.

    What are resistors Resistors are electrical devices which manage the flow of current through a circuit, creating a drop in voltage between two points.Resistors rely on Ohm's Law, which maintains that the voltage shift or potential difference between two ends of a conductor is held in proportion to the current moving through the conductor. As a formula, Ohm's Law is usually written V=IR, with V representing the voltage, I the current in amperes, and R the resistor value in ohms.

    What is resistor tolerance The tolerance is the percentage of error that the resistor has. Most resistors will have one of three colors.These are no colors (+-20%, silver (+-10%), and gold (+-5%), although with other colors or with a 5-band. This means that you take the percentage x the ohms to get how far off it may be (i.e. 60 ohm with silver stripe would be anyhwere from 54 ohm to 66 ohm). The fourth band represents what is

    known as the tolerance. Tolerance indicates how much the measured value of a resistance is different from its theoretical value, and it is calculated using percentages.

    METHOD OR PROCEDURE

    1. Resistors were placed accordingly on the solderless breadboard. 2. A 9V DC supply was placed on the busbar of the breadboard at the + and points. 3. The total resistance was calculated by placing the multimeter points across resistor Ra and Rg.This was done without any power supplied to the circuit. 4. The total current was calculated by placing the multimeter points in series with resistor Ra and Rb. 5. The total voltage was then calculated by placing the multimeter points across Ra And Rg.This was done with the power applied to the circuit. 6. The voltages in each resistor was also checked by placing the multimeter points across each end of the resistors. 7. Branch currents in Rc,Rd,Re and Rf were also calculated.

    It is always important to remember that current is always measured in series and that it remains the same in a series circuit.However,voltage is always measured in parallel and across each component in the circuit;and voltage remains the same in a parallel circuit.
