The PT100 element is a precision part and will be chosen for a specified accuracy/tolerance range.
One or other of the load resistors (the one we measure current over) should also
be of this accuracy.

The \ohms{2k2} loading resistors should have a good temperature co-effecient
(i.e. $\leq \; 50(ppm)\Delta R \propto \Delta \oc $).

the resistance of $R_3$.

As these calculations are performed by ohms law, the accuracy of the reading
As ohms law is linear, the accuracy of the reading
will be determined by the accuracy of $R_2$ and $R_{3}$. It is reasonable to
take the mean square error of these accuracy figures.
