Problem 20. The current I flowing in a resistor R is
measured by a 0-10A ammeter which gives an indi-
cation of 6.25 A. The voltage V across the resistor
is measured by a 0-50V voltmeter, which gives an
indication of 36.5 V. Determine the resistance of the
resistor, and its accuracy of measurement if both instru-
ments have a limit of error of 2% of f.s.d. Neglect any
loading effects of the instruments.
