Problem
Measurements made on a closed loop give the following values (each with an uncertainty):
• Battery: 12.00 V ± 0.04 V
• Resistor 1: 4.00 V ± 0.02 V
• Resistor 2: 3.00 V ± 0.02 V
• Resistor 3: 5.02 V ± 0.03 V
Determine whether the set of measurements is consistent within the stated uncertainties. Show the calculated net potential difference and justify your conclusion.
