Explanation:

Detailed Solution:

The resolution is calculated as the ratio of the smallest measurable change in current to the full-scale current range of the ammeter. This can be mathematically expressed as:

Resolution = (Smallest detectable change in current) ÷ (Full-scale current range)

From the problem:

  • The smallest detectable change in current = 1 mA
  • The full-scale current range = 1 A = 1000 mA

Substituting the values into the formula:

Resolution = 1 mA ÷ 1000 mA = 0.001 = 0.1%
