The current in the circuit was measured by measuring the voltage drop 

The current in the circuit was measured by measuring the voltage drop across a resistance of 40 2. The voltmeter reading was 95 V. Later it is found that the actual value of the resistance was 0.22 greater than the specified value. Also, the voltmeter reading was 0.95V greater than the true value. a. What is the apparent value of circuit current? b. The error in the measured current in percent of the measured value and in ampere.
