In this lab, you will calculate the tolerance according to the accuracy listed in the specifications for voltage, current, and resistance measurements Lab Introduction Tolerance is the span between the minimum and maximum values that are calculated by using the given accuracy formula. Therefore, the actual value of the number displayed can be anywhere between the range of the tolerance. The inductive clamp will be used to measure the current drawn by three parallel bulbs.
