MCQ
The resistance $R =\frac{ V }{ I },$ where $V =(50 \pm 2) \;V$ and $I=(20 \pm 0.2)\;A.$ The percentage error in $R$ is $x\%$. The value of $x$ to the nearest integer is .........
  • A
    $3$
  • B
    $6$
  • C
    $7$
  • $5$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$5$
d
$\frac{\Delta R }{ R } \times 100=\frac{\Delta V }{ V } \times 100+\frac{\Delta I }{ I } \times 100$

$\%$ error in $R =\frac{2}{50} \times 100+\frac{0.2}{20} \times 100$

$\%$ error in $R =4+1$

$\%$ error in $R =5 \%$
