You are given two resistors X and Y whose resistances are to be determined using an ammeter of resistance 0.5 Omega and a voltmeter of reistance 20 k Omega . It is known that x is in the range of a few ohms. While Y is in the range of several thousand ohms. In each case, while of the following two connections (Fig. 6.35 ) would you choose for resistance measurement? Justify your answer quantiatively. [Hint : For each connection, determine the error in resistnce measurement. The connection that corresponds to a smaller error (for a given range of resistance) is to be perferred.]
