Answer: Yes, it is possible for the resistance to change while during an experiment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Reasons for change in resistance are due to heating of wires, change in temperature of surroundings, and constant use of the battery.

Precautions that should be taken are to turn off the apparatus after taking the reading to reduce the heating of the wire.
