$A$ uniform metallic wire carries a current of $2\,A$ when a $3.4\,V$ battery is connected across it. The mass of the uniform metallic wire is $8.92 \times 10^{-3}\,kg$,its density is $8.92 \times 10^3\,kg/m^3$,and its resistivity is $1.7 \times 10^{-8}\,\Omega\cdot m$. The length of the wire is $l = \dots\dots\dots\dots\,m$.

In the circuits shown below, the readings of the voltmeters and the ammeters will be:

Find the equivalent resistance between $A$ and $B$.

Consider the two circuits $P$ and $Q$ shown below,which are used to measure the unknown resistance $R$. In each case,the resistance is estimated by using Ohm's law $R_{\text{est}} = \frac{V}{I}$,where $V$ and $I$ are the readings of the voltmeter and the ammeter,respectively. The meter resistances $R_V$ and $R_A$ are such that $R_A \ll R \ll R_V$. The internal resistance of the battery may be ignored. The absolute error in the estimate of the resistance is denoted by $\delta R = |R - R_{\text{est}}|$.
$(a)$ Express $\delta R_P$ in terms of the given resistance values.
$(b)$ Express $\delta R_Q$ in terms of the given resistance values.
$(c)$ For what value of $R$ will $\delta R_P \approx \delta R_Q$?
