    4 ANALYSIS and DISCUSSION

    In this experiment, our objective was to determine the resonance frequency in the
    RC circuit. The analysis of our data clearly shows an energy loss attributable to
    the resistance of the circuit's wires and the inductor, which possesses its own
    internal resistance. This resistance plays a crucial role, as it causes the energy
    within the circuit to gradually dissipate from one component to another, eventually
    diminishing to zero once the circuit is disconnected from the power source.

    Considering this phenomenon, it logically follows that the most appropriate


    equation for calculating the resonance frequency in our experiment is one that
    incorporates resistance. Upon examining the data, we observed significantly lower
    error percentages in cases 1, 2, and 4 when using the resistance-inclusive
    equation. Although case 3 did not follow this pattern, it is likely attributable to
    a measurement error, as its results were inconsistent with those from the other
    cases. This suggests the importance of considering resistance to achieve accurate
    resonance frequency calculations in RC circuits..
