Real resistors can only be manufactured to a specific tolerance, so that in effect the value of the resistance is uncertain. For example, a 1 Ohm resistor specified as 5% tolerance could in practice be found to have a value anywhere in the range of 0.95 to 1.05 Ohms. Calculate the range of the voltage across a 5.4 kOhms 7% tolerance resistor if the current flowing through the element is 1 A.
