(N/A) The errors in the given circuit diagram are as follows:
$1$. The ammeter $(A)$ is connected in parallel with the resistor $(R)$,whereas it should be connected in series with the resistor.
$2$. The voltmeter $(V)$ is connected in series with the circuit,whereas it should be connected in parallel across the resistor $(R)$.
$3$. The polarity of the ammeter and voltmeter is incorrect in the diagram.
Correct circuit configuration:
$1$. Connect the ammeter $(A)$ in series with the resistor $(R)$.
$2$. Connect the voltmeter $(V)$ in parallel across the resistor $(R)$.
$3$. Ensure the positive terminal of the ammeter and voltmeter is connected towards the positive terminal of the battery,and the negative terminal is connected towards the negative terminal of the battery.
