more carefully and possibly more than once for accuracy. Other than this, I am very happy with my outcome.
Results:
Do you think your results were accurate enough? Could they have been improved?
Were there any results that did not fit in wit the main pattern? If so can you explain why?
Yes, I find my results to be fairly accurate and reliable. I do believe however, that there was room for improvement. Lack of attention to the power pack was very liable to cause problems, though I’m not sure if it affected my own results too seriously. As well as this, I may have been careless when reading results from the voltmeter and ammeter. This inattentiveness may well have affected my investigation for the worse. On an equipment related note, I think that the use of digital voltmeters and ammeters would have been helpful as opposed to analogue ones. They make for much more accurate readings and are very clear and easy to read. Other than this, I believe my results were as precise as I could have made them, and generally speaking, I’m quite please with the outcome.
