Q.

In an electrical circuit, the voltage is measured as V=(200±4)volt and the current is measured as I=(20±0.2)A. The value of the resistance is      [2024]

1 (10±4.2)Ω  
2 (10±0.3)Ω  
3 (10±0.1)Ω  
4 (10±0.8)Ω  

Ans.

(2)

Given, voltage, (V)=(200±4)V

Current, (I)=(20±0.2)A

Resistance, (R)=VI=20020=10Ω

Now, error in R is given by,

ΔRR=ΔVV+ΔII=4200+0.220=0.03

   ΔR=R×0.03=10×0.03=0.3Ω

So, the value of Resistance is (10±0.3)Ω
