Real resistors can only be manufactured to a specific tolerance, so that in effect the value of the resistance is uncertain. For example, a 1 Ohm resistor specified as 5% tolerance could in practice be found to have a value anywhere in the range of 0.95 to 1.05 Ohms. Calculate the range of the voltage across a 5.4 kOhms 7% tolerance resistor if the current flowing through the element is 1 A.

For each of the three simple circuit boards you will need to calculate the total resistance Reg for the entire circuit board by using the measured resistances of each of the resistors, and the equations given to you in the theory section. Then using the applied voltage of 2V, as the theoretical voltage Vth for the entire circuit board you can calculate the theoretical current, ith, for the entire circuit board.

Copper is used in all household wiring. However, Aluminum, being much cheaper, is used in power distribution over large distances. The resistivity of Cu wire is 1.68x10-8 m and the resistivity of Aluminum wire is 2.65x108 2m. A typical power line might be 4.6 cm in diameter. Power lines transmit power at very high voltages so that relativley small current can be used. What is the power loss in a single line of Aluminum carrying a current of 140 A through a distance of 220 km? Number W.
