The current-voltage relation of the 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 degree Kelvin. If a student makes an error measuring \(\pm ~0.01~\text{V}\) while measuring the current of \(5~\text{mA}\) at \(300~\text{K}\), what will be the error in the value of current in \(\text{mA}\)?
1. \(0.02~\text{mA}\)
2. \(0.5~\text{mA}\)
3. \(0.05~\text{mA}\)
4. \(0.2~\text{mA}\)

The diameter of a steel ball is measured using vernier calipers which have divisions of \(0.1~\text{cm}\) on its main scale (MS) and \(10\) divisions of its vernier scale (VS) match \(9\) divisions on the main scale. Three such measurements for a ball are given as:
S.No MS \(\text{(cm)}\) VS divisions
1 0.5 8
2 0.5 4
3 0.5 6
If the zero error is \(– 0.03~\text{cm},\) then the mean corrected diameter is :
1. \(0.53~\text{cm}\)
2. \(0.56~\text{cm}\)
3. \(0.59~\text{cm}\)
4. \(0.52~\text{cm}\)

A beaker contains a fluid of density \({p}~\text{kg/m}^{3},\) specific heat \({S}~\text{J/kg}^\circ \text{C}\) and viscosity \(\eta.\) The beaker is filled up to height \(h.\) To estimate the rate of heat transfer per unit area \({Q/A}\) by convection when the beaker is put on a hot plate, a student proposes that it should depend on \(\eta.\) \(\left(\frac{{S} \Delta \theta}{{h}}\right),\) and \(\left ({1\over pg} \right)\) when \(\Delta \theta\) (in \(\mathrm{^\circ C}\)) is the difference in the temperature between the bottom and top of the fluid. In that situation, the correct option for \({(Q/A})\) is:
1. \({\eta\left(\frac{S \Delta \theta}{h}\right)\left(\frac{1}{\rho g}\right)}\)

A screw gauge with a pitch of \(0.5~\text{mm}\) and a circular scale with \(50\) divisions is used to measure the thickness of a thin sheet of Aluminium. Before starting the measurement, it is found that when the two jaws of the screw gauge are brought in contact, the \(45^{\text{th}}\) division coincides with the main scale line and that the zero of the main scale is barely visible. What is the thickness of the sheet if the main scale reading is \(0.5~\text{mm}\) and the \(25^{\text{th}}\) division coincides with the main scale line?
1. \(0.75~\text{mm}\)
2. \(0.80~\text{mm}\)
3. \(0.70~\text{mm}\)
4. \(0.50~\text{mm}\)

The following observations were taken to determine the surface tension \(T\) of water by the capillary method:
diameter of the capillary, \(D=1.25 \times 10^{-2} ~\text{m}\)
rise of water, \(h=1.45\times 10^{-2}~\text{m}\)
Using \(g= 9.80~\text{m/s}^2\) and the simplified relation, the possible error in surface tension is closest to: 
1. \(0.15\%\)
2. \(1.5\%\)
3. \(2.4\%\)
4. \(10\%\)
