A potential difference V is applied across a resistor of resistance R. If the voltage across the resistor increases by 1% and the resistance increases by 2%, then the maximum possible change in the power dissipated in the resistor is 

a
4%
b
3%
c
2%
d
5%

detailed solution

Correct option is A

P=V2R=V2R−1⇒(ΔPP)max⁡×100%=2(ΔVV)×100%+(ΔRR)×100%∴ (ΔPP)max⁡×100%=2×1%+2%=4%
