Resistance of a given wire is obtained by measuring the current flowing in it and the voltage difference applied across it. If the percentage errors in the measurment of the current and the voltage difference are 3% each, then error in the value of resistance of the wire iS :

Statement I : In the circuit in Fig. 7.46 , both cells are ideal and of fixed emf, the resistor R_(1) has fixed resistance and the resistance of resistor R_(2) can be varied ( but R_(2) is always non zero). Then the electric power delivered to the resistor of resistance R_(1) is independent of the value of resistance R_(2) . Statement II: If potential difference across a fixed resistance is unchanged , the poweer delivered to the resistor remains constant.
