Question

Voltmeter and ammeter are to be used to determine power dissipated in a resistor both instruments are guaranteed to be accurate within ± 2% at a full scale deflection. If the voltmeter reads 75 volts on its 140 volt range and the ammeter reads 50 mA on its 80 mA range. Determine the limiting error for the power calculation.
