→Improving Precision
====Improving [[Precision]]====
: Use an [[ammeter]] with a greater [[resolution]]the same resistor for each repeat. Do not just use the same value of resistor as they may be slightly different from one another.: Use a low [[voltmeter]] with a greater [[resolutionElectrical Current|current]]and turn the circuit off between readings. This prevents the wires and resistors increasing in temperature which would increase resistance and affect future readings including repeat readings.
