The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Given, I = $ ( e^{ 1000 V / T } - 1) $ mA, dV = $\pm 0.01$ V
T = 300 K
So, I = $ e^{ 1000 V /T } - 1 $
I + 1 = $ e^{ 1000 V / T} $
Taking log on both sides, we get log (I + 1) = $ \frac{1000 \, V}{ T} $
On differentiating. $ \frac{ dI}{ I + 1} = \frac{ 1000}{ T} $ dV
dI = $ \frac{ 1000}{ T} \times (I + 1) $ dV
$\Rightarrow dI = \frac{ 1000}{ 300} \times ( 5 + 1) \times 0.01 $ = 0 . 2 m A
So, error in the value of current is 0.2 mA.
T = 300 K
So, I = $ e^{ 1000 V /T } - 1 $
I + 1 = $ e^{ 1000 V / T} $
Taking log on both sides, we get log (I + 1) = $ \frac{1000 \, V}{ T} $
On differentiating. $ \frac{ dI}{ I + 1} = \frac{ 1000}{ T} $ dV
dI = $ \frac{ 1000}{ T} \times (I + 1) $ dV
$\Rightarrow dI = \frac{ 1000}{ 300} \times ( 5 + 1) \times 0.01 $ = 0 . 2 m A
So, error in the value of current is 0.2 mA.

Uncertainty in Measurement
- Atoms and molecules consist of very low mass. But they are present in huge numbers.
- Chemists have to deal with numbers as large as 602,200,000,000,000,000,000,000, which is the number of molecules of 2g of hydrogen.
- There are even other constants like the speed of light, charges on particles, Avogadro’s number and etc.
- To handle these large or small numbers, we use the following notation: m × 10n, which is, m times ten raised to the power of n. In this expression, n is an exponent having positive and negative values and m is that number that varies from 1.000… and 9.999…
- The scientific notation 573.672 can be written as 5.73672 × 102 and in the same way, 0.000089 can also be written as 8.9 × 10-5.
- All of these help us to attain easier handling, better precision, and accuracy while performing operations on numbers with high magnitudes.
