Question

2.18(Page.31) 2. A voltmeter with a range of 0 to 100 V reads 2 V when the leads are shorted together. The manufacturer claims an accuracy of ±4% of full scale.

Estimate the maximum error when reading a voltage of 80 V in both volts and as a percentage of reading. If the voltmeter is adjusted so that the reading when the leads are shorted together is 0 V, estimate the maximum percent error when reading 80 V.
