Before you use the answer
Check the component connections and unit prefixes before copying a result into a circuit notebook. These tools describe ideal, introductory circuits. They do not replace datasheets, thermal checks, isolation requirements or qualified design work, and they are not intended for mains installation decisions.
A single operating point does not establish that a nonlinear component is ohmic.

Why might a result be approximate?
Measurement uncertainty, ideal-model assumptions and floating-point rounding can all matter. Displaying more digits does not improve the original measurement.
