Problem

In a circuit, the terminal potential difference of a battery is

V_{1}=12.45\,\text{V}\,\pm0.05\,\text{V}

while the potential difference across an external resistor is

V_{2}=10.15\,\text{V}\,\pm0.05\,\text{V}

. The resistance of the resistor is

R=5.00\,\Omega\,\pm0.05\,\Omega

. Calculate the power dissipated in the resistor and the relative uncertainty in your answer.
