    A student uses the resistance of a known resistor $(1 \,\Omega)$ to calibrate a voltmeter and an ammeter using the circuits shown below. The student measures the ratio of the voltage to current to be $1 \times 10^3 \,\Omega$ in circuit $(a)$ and $0.999 \,\Omega$ in circuit $(b)$. From these measurements, the resistance (in $\Omega$ ) of the voltmeter and ammeter are found to be close to
