  3. C 1.75
  4. D 1.55
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 1.65

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\epsilon=\lambda \ell\) Potential gradient \(\epsilon_1=\lambda \ell_1\) \(\epsilon_2=\lambda \ell_2\) \(y =\frac{\epsilon_1}{\epsilon_2}=\frac{\ell_1}{\ell_2}\) \(\frac{\Delta y }{ y }=\frac{\Delta \ell_1}{\ell_1}+\frac{\Delta \ell_2}{\ell_2}\)…
