For finding the specific resistance of a wire, a student took the following readings by using a metre scale, a micrometer and a resistance box.
Length of the wire (L) = 100.0 cm
Radius (r ) = 0.100 cm and R = `10 Omega`
What is the maximum possible percentage error in the value of the specific resistance?
