Homework Statement
I performed a lab where we designed an electric circuit on paper and then calculated the Current, Power, and Voltage for each of the resistors. We used one power supply. Then we built the circuit we designed and then measured the actual Current Power and Voltage for the it using a multimeter. However, all the values for the actual measurements are just slightly lower than the numbers of the predicted values. I think it has to do with the internal resistance of the battery, but i am not sure. Would i calculate it using V=IR and use the actual total voltage and total current?
