The resistance \(\mathrm{R}=\frac{\mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{I}}\) where \(\mathrm{V}=(200 \pm 5) \mathrm{V}\) and \(I=(20 \pm 0.2) A\), the percentage error in the measurement of \(R\) is _______.

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(3.5 \%\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{R}=\frac{\mathrm{V}}{1}\)

According to error analysis

\( \frac{\mathrm{dR}}{\mathrm{R}}=\frac{\mathrm{dV}}{\mathrm{V}}+\frac{\mathrm{dI}}{\mathrm{I}} \)

\( \frac{\mathrm{dR}}{\mathrm{R}}=\frac{5}{200}+\frac{0.2}{20} \)

\( \frac{\mathrm{dR}}{\mathrm{R}}=\frac{7}{200} \)

\( \% \text { error } \frac{\mathrm{dR}}{\mathrm{R}} \times 100=\frac{7}{200} \times 100=3.5 \%\)
