Answer:
4%
Step-by-step explanation:
Actual length of wire = 5 cm
The measured length of wire = 5.2 cm
We need to find the percent error in the measurement of the length of wire. It can be calculated as follows :
[tex]\%=\dfrac{\text{measured length-actiual length}}{\text{actual length}}\times 100\\\\=\dfrac{5.2-5}{5}\times 100\\\\=4\%[/tex]
So, the required percent error is 4%.
