    the possible error remains same.
  • B
    the possible error is doubled.

Two students $P$ and $Q$ perform an experiment to verify Ohm's law for a conductor with resistance $R$. They use a current source and a voltmeter with least counts of $0.1 \, mA$ and $0.1 \, mV$,respectively. The plots of the variation of voltage drop $V$ across $R$ with current $I$ for both are shown below. Which statement is most likely to be correct?
