The current flowing is the same:

 = 98.62mA 

 

But the voltage measured is now: 1.000

Ω

 x 98.6mA = 98.6mV 

And the dc resistance calculated is:

/R = 98.6mV / 98.6mA = 1.000

– The correct result. 

In general, a true Kelvin connection provides the most accurate means of 
sensing the voltage across any impedance (AC or DC) and hence helps to 
produce an accurate measurement of that impedance without errors due to 
lead and contact resistance. The voltage measured can also be used to trim 
Vm to the desired voltage.
