CON r 3METHOD A:
1. Construct a parallel circuit u:
three carbon resistors of equal rating (Ry, Ro, Rs)-
2, Connect the voltmeter in parallel with resistor, Ry.
3. Close the switch and record the potential gf

e Vacross R, in Table A.
METHOD B: 1.Constructa series circuit usingBhanafistrs (Ras Rp, Re) of equal rating.
2. Perform steps 2 to 6 of Method A and recon Sig Mest in Table B.
