9.4 Exercise 6

Avg difficulty 2.5

A resistor rated at 250kΩ250 \text{k} \Omega is connected across two D cell batteries (each 1.50 V) in series, with a total voltage of 3.00 V. The manufacturer advertises that their resistors are within 5% of the rated value. What are the possible minimum current and maximum current through the resistor?
