The heat generated in a cirucit is dependent upon the resstance, current and time for which the current is flown. If the error in measuring the above are as `1%,2%` and `1%` the maximum error in measuring heat will be

A

`2%`

B

`3%`

C

`6%`

D

`1%`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

H= `I^(2)` Rt
`rArr (Delta H)/(H) xx 100 = (2 DeltaI)/(I) xx 100 + (Delta R)/(R ) xx 100 + (Delta t)/(t) xx 100`
`" " = 2(2%) + 1% + 1% = 6%`
