The measured data from Table 2.1 and Table 2.2 are used below to determine if Objective 2 has been achieved objective 2 To verify that the total resistance of a series circuit is the sum of the resistances of the individual resistors that comprise the series circuit, i.e., RT = R1 + R2 + + RN, where 'N' is the number of resistors.
