The magnitude of the difference between mean value and each individual value is called _____________

The formula for percentage error is

If $x=\frac{a}{b},$ then the maximum relative error in the measurement is

Given, $l_1=44.2\pm 0.1$ and $l_2=23.1\pm 0.1$, the uncertainty in $l_1+l_2$ is,

Two resistances $R_1=50\pm 2 \mathrm{ohm}$ and $R_2=60\pm 3 \mathrm{ohm}$ are connected in series. The equivalent resistance of the series combination is,

If $x=a^{\mathrm{n}}$, then relative error is (where $n$ is the power of $a$),

The thickness of a paper measured by micrometer screw gauge of least count $0.01 \mathrm{mm}$ is $1.03 \mathrm{mm}$. The percentage error in the measurement of thickness of paper is,

One micron is related to centimetre as,
