The resistance `R=(V)/(I)`, where `V=100 pm 5V and I=10pm0.2A`. Find the percentage error in R.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The percentage errro in V is `5%` and in I it is `2%`.
The total percentage error in R is given by
`(DeltaR)/(R )xx100=(DeltaV)/(V)xx100+(DeltaI)/(I)xx100`
`=5%+2%=7%`
