If we measure the voltage around the resistor:
The measured voltage in this figure is 3.087 V DC.
If we calculate the new values:
3.087 π
550.2 Ξ©
= 5. 61 ππ΄
Based from the result of the calculation, the value is near the theoretical value of 5.88 mA
But in reality, it will be less than 5.61 mA because of the resistance of the multimeter itself:
But indeed, we can count on our calculation β β because 5.88 mA is
3 π / 510 Ξ© = 5. 88 ππ΄
almost equal to 5.61 mA.
