Error analysis  Our result for the Boltzmann constant ($1.46 \times 10^-23 \text{m2 kg s-2 K-1}$) is approximately 5.8\% higher than the accepted value ($1.38 \times 10^-23 \text{m2 kg s-2 K-1}$).  T? Assuming that our thermometer is accurate (for room temperature), the temperature within the instrument, where the resister is, may be higher. Looking at As we can see in  Eq.~ \ref{eq:boltzmann},with \ref{eq:boltzmann}, with  a higher T T, we would have a lower K_B value which is opposite to what our value is, so this is unlikely what is causing the error.  R? \delta{f}? ?
