\textit{Pre Write Up}   In order to find the Boltzmann constant and constant, we used measurements of voltage fluctuations across a resistor that arose from the random motion of electrons at room temperature. We also wanted to find  the charge of an electron, electron. To do this,  we had to perform took measurements of  the Johnson Noise Experiment size of random fluctuations in current produced by an illuminated photo-diode. This demonstrated that electric change is quantized  and allowed us to find  the Shot Noise Experiment. value of e.  We performed the Johnson Noise Experiment in order to find the Boltzman Constant: $1.38064852 × 10^{-23} \textrm{ m}^2 \textrm{ kg} \textrm{ s}^{-2} \textrm{ K}^{-1}$. We performed the Shot Noise Experiment in order to find the charge of an electron: $1.60217662 × 10^{ -19} \textrm{ coulombs}$.
