Suppose that you make a series RC circuit with a capacitor and a known resistor that has a 5% tolerance: R= 5.20 ± 0.26kΩ. You plan is to measure the time constant of the circuit in order to determine the value of the capacitor. You do ten trials of your experiment and measure the time constant each time, and then you calculate the average and standard error of the ten results to determine that τ= 2.150 ± 0.002s.
Which of the following is the best estimate of the uncertainty on your determination of the value of your capacitor?
a. 1%
b. 0.1%
c. 5%
