HELP ME PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Answer:
probably won't help now but the answer is the 4th one lol
Explanation:
Suppose that you make a series RC circuit with a capacitor and a known resistor that has a 5% tolerance: R= 5.20 ± 0.26kΩ. You plan is to measure the time constant of the circuit in order to determine the value of the capacitor. You do ten trials of your experiment and measure the time constant each time, and then you calculate the average and standard error of the ten results to determine that τ= 2.150 ± 0.002s.
Which of the following is the best estimate of the uncertainty on your determination of the value of your capacitor?
a. 1%
b. 0.1%
c. 5%
Answer:
correct answer is C
Explanation:
The time constant of an RC circuit is
τ = RC
so to find the capacitance
C = τ/ R
C = 2.150 / 5.20 10³
C = 4.13 10⁻⁴ F
to find the error we use the worst case
ΔC = | [tex]|\frac{dC}{d \tau }| \ \Delta \tau + | \frac{dC}{dR} | \ \Delta R[/tex]
the absolute value guarantees that we find the worst case, we evaluate the derivatives
ΔC = 1 /R Δτ + τ/R² ΔR
the absolute values of the errors are
Δτ = 0.002 s
ΔR = 0.3 kΩ
we substitute
ΔC = 0.002 /5.20 10³ + 2.150/(5.20 10³)² 0.3 10³
ΔC = 3.8 10⁻⁷ + 1.74 10⁻⁵
ΔC = 1.77 10⁻⁵ F
the uncertainty or error must be expressed with a significant figure
ΔC = 2 10⁻⁵ F
the percentage error is
Er% =[tex]\frac{\Delta C}{C} \ 100[/tex]
Er% = [tex]\frac{2 \ 10^{-5} }{ 4.13 \ 10^{-4} } \ 100[/tex]
Er% = 4.8%
the correct answer is C
