🔍 Key Concepts

• How to apply meter accuracy given as a percentage of reading on a selected range (0.15% of 5.00 V on the 6 V range) • What "counts" (digits) mean on a digital multimeter and how to convert 2 counts on the 6.000 V range into volts • Combining percentage error and count error to get a total possible measurement range

💭 Think About

• First, calculate 0.15% of the 5.00 V reading. How many volts is that? • Next, determine the value of one count on a 4-digit meter set to the 6 V range (look at the display format: 6.000 V). What voltage change does one count represent? • Finally, add and subtract both the percentage error and the count error from 5.00 V to find the lowest and highest possible indicated readings.

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you understand that 0.15% applies to the reading, not the full 6 V range in this type of specification (unless stated otherwise—check typical DMM accuracy notation). • Confirm how many decimal places are shown on the 6 V range and convert 2 counts into volts based on that. • After adding the errors, check which option’s range fully includes your calculated minimum and maximum possible readings and does not go beyond them by more than the meter’s stated tolerance.
