Question: a 4 k resistor with a tolerance of ±2% carries a current of 2 A. The current was measured by an analog ammeter with a range of 0 to 4 A with a quoted inaccuracy of 16% of the full scale. The likely maximum error in calculating the power dissipated in the resistor (P = 12R) would be: elect one: D a. 0.0632 Db. 0.24 D c. 0.0872 d. 0.34 B 4:36 PM
