Measurement and Instrumentation
A resistance is measured by the voltmeter-ammeter method employing dc excitation and a voltmeter of very high resistance connected directly across the unknown resistance. If the voltmeter and ammeter reading are subject to maximum possible errors of ± 2.4 % and ± 1.0 % respectively, then the magnitude of the maximum possible percentage error in the value of resistance deduced from the measurement is nearly

 ± 3.4%
 ± 1.4%
 ± 2.4%
 ± 1%

Measurement and Instrumentation
Potentiometer method of DC voltage measurement is more accurate than direct measurement using a voltmeter because

 It loads the circuit to maximum extent.
  It does not load the circuit at all.
 It loads the circuit moderately.
 It uses centre zero galvanometer instead of voltmeter.
