Hypothetically, suppose our resistance in part I was 200 ohms. Quantitatively calculate the impact of a 1 Ohm ammeter resistance and a 1 megaohm voltmeter resistance (rather than ideal circumstances). Based on the uncertainties in our experiment, are these systemic errors likely to be relevant?

Answer:

Yes, the errors are likely to be relevant

Step-by-step explanation:

A systematic error occurs as a result of the instrument used in carrying out and experiment. These errors are a result of small fluctuations in the measurement properties of the instrument. This happens when the instrument departs from non-ideal situations, for example as a result of physical expansion or change in temperature. For instance, let the resistance be measured to be up to 10 Ω ± 1 Ω

The error of the resistance, ε = 0.01Ω
