Assertion (A): | The fractional error in \(R\) is most affected by that of the smallest resistance in the combination, other things being equal. |
Reason (R): | In parallel, the conductances add. The contribution to the overall error in the conductance is largest for the largest conductance or the smallest resistance. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
