Solved Example Problems for Propagation of


errors

Numerical
Physics : Nature analysis
of Physical World and Measurement
(i) Solved Example Problem for Error in the sum of two

quantities

Example 1.5

Two resistances R1 = (100 ± 3) Ω, R2 = (150 ± 2) Ω, are connected in series.


What is their equivalent resistance?

Solution

Equivalent resistance R = ?

Equivalent resistance R = R1 + R2

(ii) Solved Example Problem for Error in the difference of two

quantities

Example 1.6

The temperatures of two bodies measured by a thermometer are t1 = (20 +


0.5)°C, t2 = (50 ± 0.5)°C. Calculate the temperature difference and the error
therein.
Numerical analysis
Solution
(iii) Example Problem for Error in the product of two

quantities

Example 1.7

The length and breadth of a rectangle are (5.7 ± 0.1) cm and (3.4 ± 0.2) cm
respectively. Calculate the area of the rectangle with error limits.

(iv) Example Problem for Error in the division or quotient of

two quantities

Example 1.8

The voltage across a wire is (100 ± 5)V and the current passing through it is
(10±0.2) A. Find the resistance of the wire.

Solution

Numerical analysis
(v) Example Problem for Error in the power of a quantity

Example 1.9

A physical quantity x is given by x
