A digital multimeter, set up as a milliammeter on the 100 milliamp scale, is known to have an accuracy of plus or minus 2%. A meter reading of 5.0 milliamps would indicate an actual line current between what two values?

Correct Answer: Option D — 4.9 and 5.1 milliamperes

Two percent of a 5.0 milliampere reading yields a variance of plus or minus 0.1 milliamperes, establishing an actual line current boundary between 4.9 and 5.1 milliamperes.
