The power to a 25-watt lamp is being measured with a voltmeter and an ammeter. The voltmeter has a resistance of 14,160 ohms. The meter is connected directly across the lamp terminals. When the ammeter reads 0.206 ampere, the voltmeter reads 119 volts. 1. What is the true power of the lamp? 2, What percentage of error is introduced if the instrument power is neglected?
