An ammeter is connected in series with a resistor of unknown resistance R and a DC power supply of known emf e. A student uses the ammeter to measure the current I and calculates the power P dissipated by the resistor using I and e. The student later discovers that the ammeter is not an ideal ammeter. Which of the following correctly compares the actual power dissipated by the resistor to the value of power P calculated by the student and explains why? (A) The actual power dissipated by the resistor is greater than P because the ammeter had some resistance (B) The actual power dissipated by the resistor is less than P because the ammeter had some resistance. (C) The actual power dissipated by the resistor is greater than P because the ammeter should have been connected in parallel to the resistor. (D) The actual power dissipated by the resistor is less than P because the ammeter should have been connected in parallel to the resistor. (E) The actual power dissipated by the resistor is equal to P because the ammeter was connected properly in series.
