Activity 1.1: Actual voltage across 5V breadboard pins.
Enter the Value you got here from Step 5.
Activity 1.2: Actual voltage across 3.3V breadboard pins.
Explain in around 100 words why you think the value read by a multi meter on a circuit, may be different
to a simulator value such as TinkerCad.
If the read value is 4.84V on a 5V supply, what would be a sensible tolerance to quote, explain your
answer.
