If the percentage errors in measuring the length and the diameter of a wire are 0.1% each. The percentage error in measuring its resistance will be:
  1. 0.2%
  2. 0.3%
  3. 0.1%
  4. 0.144%

Solution

Resistance of the wire in terms of the diameter can be written as, R=ρLπd24

Hence, percentage error relation will be, RR×100=LL×100+2dd×100

Given: LL=0.1% and dd=0.1%

Therefore, RR=0.3%
