1. A certain geophysical technique determines the electrical resistivity of the ground bymeasuring the voltage, V, and current, I, between electrodes separated by a distance, a.These measurements are related to resistivity by the equation,resistivity = 2za (VI).1.00 +0.01 meters, whatIf V = 0.512 +0.01 volts, I–0.00684 ± 0.0001 Amps, and a =is the uncertainty in the resistivity. (Note: The units of resistivity are ohm-meters. Thenumbers in this problem are given in such a way that no unit conversions are necessary.)

Uncertainties in measurement arise due to mainly three reasons, Instrument, Human and Environment…

Answered: A certain geophysical technique…
