The relative error in resistivity of a material where

resistance $= 1.05 \pm 0.01\, \Omega$

diameter $= 0.60 \pm 0.01\, mm$

length $= 75.3 \pm 0.1 \,cm$ is

A

$0.04$

B

$0.40$

C

$0.08$

D

$0.01$

Solution

$\mathrm{R}=\frac{\rho \ell}{\mathrm{A}}$

$\rho=\frac{\mathrm{RA}}{\ell}=\frac{\mathrm{R} \pi \mathrm{r}^{2}}{\ell}=\frac{\pi \mathrm{d}^{2} \mathrm{R}}{4 \ell}$

$\frac{\Delta \rho}{\rho}=\frac{\Delta \mathrm{R}}{\mathrm{R}}+\frac{\Delta \mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}}+\frac{\Delta \ell}{\ell}$
