You Want to Determine the Resistance R of a Resistor $\Omega$

question 10

Multiple Choice

You want to determine the resistance R of a resistor by passing a current I through it,measuring this current with an ammeter connected in series with the resistor,measuring the voltage V across only the resistor with a voltmeter,and then dividing the voltage by the current to get the resistance.If the voltmeter has an internal resistance of 5.0 k $\Omega$ ,what is the percentage error (relative to the true value) in measuring a 1.0-k $\Omega$ resistance?

• A)0.17%
• B)1.7%
• C)2.0%
• D)17%
• E)20%
