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 .........

  1. A \(3\)
  2. B \(6\)
  3. C \(7\)
  4. D \(5\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{\Delta R }{ R } \times 100=\frac{\Delta V }{ V } \times 100+\frac{\Delta I }{ I } \times 100\) \(\%\) error in \(R =\frac{2}{50} \times 100+\frac{0.2}{20} \times 100\) \(\%\) error in \(R =4+1\) \(\%\) error in \(R =5 \%\)
