Introduction Methodology
The Aim of this experiment is to measure and observe how the
change in components in an electric system change the amounts

clear that the nichrome wire experienced more amps and less 4 0.6 6.666666 - Power connectors

contrary to my hypothis the ohms on the experiment with the
nichrome wire actually turned out to be higher than that on the

lightbulb. Although this experiment yielded satisfactory accurate
results it could be improved by using more accurate
