Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

In an experiment, the current is measured as 0.1±0.002 A and the resistance is found to be 150±3 Ω. Calculate the voltage and uncertainty in the voltage.

💡 Hint: Make sure to calculate each part of the formula separately.

Question 2

If you know the resistive losses in your circuit components lead to the following: 220Ω at a tolerance of ±0.5Ω and current flow is at 2.5±0.01A. Determine the uncertainty in voltage and the actual voltage.

💡 Hint: Convert everything to decimals carefully and use the right propagation formula.
