The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the absolute error in the difference of two physical quantities \( A \) and \( B \), given their absolute errors \( a \) and \( b \), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Quantities and Their Errors**: - Let \( A \) be a physical quantity with an absolute error \( a \). - Let \( B \) be another physical quantity with an absolute error \( b \). 2. **Define the Expression**: - We are interested in the expression \( X = A - B \). 3. **Understand Error Propagation**: - When performing operations like addition or subtraction, the absolute errors of the quantities involved add up. This is a fundamental rule in error analysis. 4. **Apply the Error Propagation Rule**: - The absolute error in the result \( X \) (which is \( A - B \)) is given by the sum of the absolute errors of \( A \) and \( B \). - Therefore, the absolute error in \( X \) can be expressed as: \[ \Delta X = \Delta A + \Delta B \] - Substituting the known errors: \[ \Delta X = a + b \] 5. **Conclusion**: - The absolute error in the value of \( A - B \) is \( a + b \). ### Final Answer: The absolute error in the value of \( A - B \) is \( a + b \). ---
