To calculate the percentage error in the value of resistance \( R \), we can use the formula for resistance given by Ohm's Law: \[ R = \frac{V}{I} \] where \( V \) is the voltage and \( I \) is the current. The errors in the measurements of \( V \) and \( I \) will contribute to the error in \( R \). ...
