The heat generated in a circuit is dependent upon the resistance, current and time for which the current is flown. If the error in measuring the above are 1%, 2% and 1% respectively, then maximum error in measuring the heat is

A

0.08

B

0.06

C

0.18

D

0.12

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`H=i^(2) Rt`
`:.` % error in H=2(%error in i) +(%error in R) +(%error in t)
`=2xx2+1+1xx1=6%`
