According to Joule's law of heating, heat produced $H = {I^2}$Rt, where I is current, R is resistance and t is time. If the errors in the measurement of I, R and t are 3%, 4% and 6% respectively then error in the measurement of H is
If there is a positive error of 50% in the measurement of velocity of a body, then the error in the measurement of kinetic energy is
A physical quantity P is given by P=$\frac{{{A^3}{B^{\frac{1}{2}}}}}{{{C^{ - 4}}{D^{\frac{3}{2}}}}}$. The quantity which brings in the maximum percentage error in P is
If $L = 2.331\,cm,\;B = 2.1\,cm$, then $L + B =$
