Checking the current (I) in all the junctions of the circuit. The results seem to be proportional as we add a second battery to the circuit. all the values almost doubled, as the voltage (V) almost doubled.
A closeup of small resistors. The top one is older technology, where as the bottom one is a newer model, which also happens to be cheaper.
calculating how resistors add up, both in parallel and in series
A step-by-step process on how to add capacitors, both in parallel and series.
Our calculated value came to be 52.2 Ohms
putting these resistors together was troublesome, but once we succeeded we measured 51.8 ohms. Thats a 98.7% accuracy!
Sloppy calculations on how to find the current in all three parts of the circuit
The results!

The Circuit
The resistance, voltage, and current measured. We then calculated the Current, and got shocking results. The current through the resistor 1 had about half the calculated current running through it... The current through the 2nd resistor was almost as bad, having 68% running through it. The 3rd resistor restored faith in me, showing a 100% accuracy to what we calculated. There must have been some kind of bad connection in some of the wires, because we did have trouble getting the Voltage of resistor 1 and 2 as well.
