Question: If a current passes through a resistor with resistance R, Ohm's Law states that the voltage drop is V = RI. If V is R

If a current passes through a resistor with resistance R, Ohm's Law states that the voltage drop is V = RI. If V is R constant and is measured with a certain error, use differentials to show that the relative error in calculating is approximately the same (in magnitude) as the relative error in R.
