The current-voltage relation of a diode is given by $I = (e^{1000V/T} - 1) \text{ mA}$,where the applied voltage $V$ is in volts and the temperature $T$ is in Kelvin. If a student makes an error of $\pm 0.01 \text{ V}$ while measuring the voltage to obtain a current of $5 \text{ mA}$ at $300 \text{ K}$,what will be the error in the value of current in $\text{mA}$?

The relative error in the determination of the surface area of a sphere is $\alpha$. Then the relative error in the determination of its volume is

$A$ scientist performs an experiment in order to measure a certain physical quantity and takes $100$ observations. He repeats the same experiment and takes $400$ observations. By doing so,

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 .............. $\%$

During Searle's experiment,the zero of the Vernier scale lies between $3.20 \times 10^{-2} \text{ m}$ and $3.25 \times 10^{-2} \text{ m}$ of the main scale. The $20^{\text{th}}$ division of the Vernier scale exactly coincides with one of the main scale divisions. When an additional load of $2 \text{ kg}$ is applied to the wire,the zero of the Vernier scale still lies between $3.20 \times 10^{-2} \text{ m}$ and $3.25 \times 10^{-2} \text{ m}$ of the main scale,but now the $45^{\text{th}}$ division of the Vernier scale coincides with one of the main scale divisions. The length of the thin metallic wire is $2 \text{ m}$ and its cross-sectional area is $8 \times 10^{-7} \text{ m}^2$. The least count of the Vernier scale is $1.0 \times 10^{-5} \text{ m}$. The maximum percentage error in the Young's modulus of the wire is:
