JEE PYQ: Mathematics In Physics Question 1
Question 1 - 2021 (16 Mar Shift 1)
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 _____.
Show Answer
Answer: (5)
Solution
$\frac{\Delta R}{R} \times 100 = \frac{\Delta V}{V} \times 100 + \frac{\Delta I}{I} \times 100$ % error in R $= \frac{2}{50} \times 100 + \frac{0.2}{20} \times 100$ % error in R $= 4 + 1$ % error in R $= 5%$
