Problem

A 10 Ω10\,\Omega resistor is connected to a 12 V12\,\text{V} ideal battery. An ammeter of internal resistance 0.5 Ω0.5\,\Omega is inserted in series to measure the current. (i) Calculate the current without the ammeter. (ii) Calculate the current with the ammeter in the circuit. (iii) Find the percentage error introduced due to the ammeter resistance.
