-The voltage across a resistor is calculated as being 4 V. The measured value of the voltage is 4.3 V. What is the percent of error between the two values?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The percent of error is calculated using the formula: |(measured value - calculated value) / calculated value| * 100%. So, |(4.3 V - 4 V) / 4 V| * 100% = 0.3 / 4 * 100% = 7.5%. However, the correct calculation leads to 7.5%, indicating a mistake in the provided options. Given the choices, 6.98% is the closest, but it's important to note the actual calculation error.
