7-3 A voltmeter is connected directly in parallel with an unknown resistance (R,), and an ammeter is directly in series with a dc supply connected to the resistance and voltmeter. The ammeter is on a 1 mA range and its resistance is 0.1 0 The volt- meter, which has a sensitivity of 10 k/V, is on its 5 V range. Determine (a) the nominal resistance of R, and (b) the maximum and minimum resistance of R, if the voltmeter and ammeter accuracies are ±1%. The indicated quantities are 500 p.A and 4 V.

Question
7-3 A voltmeter is connected directly in parallel with an unknown resistance (R,), and
an ammeter is directly in series with a dc supply connected to the resistance and
voltmeter. The ammeter is on a 1 mA range and its resistance is 0.1 0 The volt-
meter, which has a sensitivity of 10 k/V, is on its 5 V range. Determine (a) the
nominal resistance of R, and (b) the maximum and minimum resistance of R, if the
voltmeter and ammeter accuracies are ±1%. The indicated quantities are 500 p.A
and 4 V.
