MCQ
The maximum error in the measurement of resistance, current and time for which current flows in an electrical circuit are $1 \%, 2 \%$ and $3 \%$ respectively. The maximum percentage error in the detection of the dissipated heat will be
  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $4$
  • C
    $6$
  • $8$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$8$
d
$E _{ H }= I ^{2} R \times t$

$\frac{\Delta E }{ E } \times 100=\frac{2 \Delta I }{ I } \times 100+\frac{\Delta R }{ R } \times 100+\frac{\Delta T }{ T } \times 100$

$=2 \times 2+1+3=8$

A monochromatic light wave is incident normally on a glass slab of thickness $d$, as shown in the figure. The refractive index of the slab increases linearly from $n_1$ to $n_2$ over the height $h$. Which of the following statement($s$) is (are) true about the light wave emerging out of the slab?

(image)

($A$) It will deflect up by an angle $\tan ^{-1}\left[\frac{\left(n_2^2-n_1^2\right) d}{2 h}\right]$

($B$) It will deflect up by an angle $\tan ^{-1}\left[\frac{\left(n_2-n_1\right) d}{h}\right]$

($C$) It will not deflect.

($D$) The deflection angle depends only on $\left(n_2-n_1\right)$ and not on the individual values of $n_1$ and $n_2$.
