The coils of a wattmeter have resistances 0.01Ω and 1000Ω; their inductances may be neglected. The wattmeter is connected as shown in the figure, to measure the power consumed by a load, which draws 25A at power factor 0.8. The voltage across the load terminals is 30V. The percentage error on the wattmeter reading is ________.
Correct : 0.15
