Estimate the design-stage uncertainty in determining the voltage drop across an electric heating element. The device has a nominal resistance of 30 V and power rating of 500 W. Available is an ohmmeter (accuracy: within 0.5%; resolution: 1 V) and ammeter (accuracy: within 0.1%; resolution: 100 mA). Recall E ¼ IR.
