Solve the Problem R\mathrm { R } Produced by Wiring Resistors Of

Question 298

Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.
-The resistance R\mathrm { R } produced by wiring resistors of R1,R2\mathrm { R } _ { 1 } , \mathrm { R } _ { 2 } , and R3\mathrm { R } _ { 3 } ohms in parallel can be calculated from the formula 1R=1R1+1R2+1R3.\frac { 1 } { R } = \frac { 1 } { R _ { 1 } } + \frac { 1 } { R _ { 2 } } + \frac { 1 } { R _ { 3 } } .
If R1,R2\mathrm { R } _ { 1 } , \mathrm { R } _ { 2 } , and R3\mathrm { R } _ { 3 } are measured to be 7 ohms, 5ohms5 \mathrm { ohms } , and 6 ohms respectively, and if these measurements are accurate to within 0.050.05 ohms, estimate the maximum possible error in computing RR .
