Assignment:
The resistance of a resistor is to be determined by measuring the voltage drop across it when passing a given current, as shown in Figure.
The instrument indications are 2 mA and 12.0 V, the ammeter having a resistance of 10 ? and the voltmeter a resistance of 10k?.
Calculate: (a) the resistance of the resistor as indicated by the instrument readings; (b) the correct resistance of the resistor allowing for instrument error; (c) the percentage error of the uncorrected resistance with respect to the corrected resistance.
