Conclusion:

After running eight trials, all testing different amperages and powers, we discovered that our general hypothesis was correct and that the minimum and maximum amounts of amps used are less efficient than a median value. Our results show that somewhere close to the middle, in this case seven amperages, is where it is the most efficient.

Our main source of error would be the preciseness of the amperages we used while testing. The ammeter and voltmeter were both fluctuating during the testing process, causing us to have some uncertainty in the exact values we were testing. In order to improve on this experiment, we would suggest using more precise ammeters and voltmeters and having a more exact power supply.
