To find the percentage error in the resistance \( R \) given by the formula \( R = \frac{V}{I} \), where \( V = (100 \pm 5.0) \, V \) and \( I = (10 \pm 0.2) \, A \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the values and their uncertainties - Voltage \( V = 100 \, V \) with an uncertainty \( \Delta V = 5 \, V \) - Current \( I = 10 \, A \) with an uncertainty \( \Delta I = 0.2 \, A \) ### Step 2: Write the formula for resistance The resistance \( R \) is given by: ...
