Q1.
Best estimate:30.0mA
μ A −I =0
∆ Instr .− I 50 X 1 %
μ∆ Instru .−I = = mA
√3 √3
∆ Read .−I 0.2 X 1
μ∆ Read .−I = = mA
√3 √3
=0.3mA
μ B−I = √ μ2∆ Instru .−I + μ2∆ Read .−I

=0.3mA
σ I = √ μ A −I + μ B−I
2 2

The magnitude of the current is 30.0±0.3mA

Q3.
Since V =V R +V a
' V V R +V a = R + R
R= = a

Q4.
V=1.002±0.005V
I=23.1±0.1mA
Best estimate:
V 1.002 V
R= = =43.38 Ω
I 23.1 mA
Uncertainty:
σ I =¿ 0.1mA
σ V =¿0.005V
σR
