Let there be an equation, let's say V=IR. Now when we write its error formula we write it as ΔVV=ΔII+ΔRR.
Now let us take example values. For instance let V=12, I=3, R=4, and ΔI=3% and ΔR=2%. Hence the error in V is ΔV=18%.
Now we can write Ohm's law as I=VR. Now we get the error in I to be ΔII=ΔVV+ΔRR.
Keeping the same values of ΔV=18% and ΔR=2%, we get ΔI=6%. Why is this different? According to the formulas for ΔV and ΔI, in both cases we will surely get the different values, but why is it that we get different error values for the same pair of values of R,V and I?
