A voltemeter of resitance `400 Omega` connected for measurement to a section of a ciruit having a resistance of 20 ohm shows a reading of 100 V. What is the error in the reading of the voltmeter, if the current in the main circit is assumed to remain constant before and after connecting the voltmeter?
