Error Propagation Resistors In Parallel
vote accepted Start with $\frac{1}{R} = \frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}$ for paralllel resistors Then apply equation 4a from this reference to each side. In other words, consider the right side as $f(R_1, R_2)$ and the left side as $f(R)$. $\Delta f(R) = \Delta f(R_1, R_2)$ share|cite|improve this answer edited May 6 '14 at 18:31 answered May 6 '14 at 17:54 DavePhD 13.8k23062 Does the R.H.S. evaluate to $-\frac{\Delta R_1}{R_1^2}-\frac{\Delta R_2}{R_2^2}$? What would the LHS evalute to? –shaurya gupta May 6 '14 at 18:16 the vertical lines in equation 4a are absolute value, so you need to omit the negative signs. LHS yields LHS of equation from the book. –DavePhD May 6 '14 at 18:19 How would I solve the LHS? –shaurya gupta May 6 '14 at 18:20 derivative of (1/R) = $-1/R^2$; then take absoulte value and multiply by $\Delta R$ –DavePhD May 6 '14 at 18:21 1 yes, solve for $\Delta z$ = uncertainty in left side of your equation, then solve for $\Delta z$ = uncertainty in right side of your equation, then state the two solutions equal each other –DavePhD May 6 '14 at 18:26 | show 8 more comments Your Answer draft saved draft discarded Sign up or log in Sign up using Google Sign up using Facebook Sig

He uses the more conservative flat distribution within the tolerance band.
