  2. 12.0 V
  3. 12.2 V
  4. 12.4 V

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A voltage is measured as 12.0 V with an uncertainty of ±0.2 V. What is the maximum possible voltage?
  • Step 1: Identify the measured voltage, which is 12.0 V.
  • Step 2: Identify the uncertainty, which is ±0.2 V.
  • Step 3: To find the maximum possible voltage, add the uncertainty to the measured voltage.
  • Step 4: Perform the calculation: 12.0 V + 0.2 V = 12.2 V.
  • Step 5: The maximum possible voltage is 12.2 V.
