It is entirely likely that I made an error even though I checked the work multiple times to be sure; but, I did end with the same current for both equations. Is there another name for the Master rule? I cannot seem to find much on it.

R1= 370+- 10 Ohm R2= 100+- 3 Ohm R3= 220+- 6 Ohm V1= 25V+- 2% V2= 45V+- 2%The uncertainty that I ended with was a result of manually calculating each operation with each absolute or relative uncertainty. Our lab fell on a holiday last week, so the prof assigned this 'simple' question as a...

Oh interesting, I have not seen the Partial method of calculating uncertainties. We are using the standard method most people learn in first year physics, addition/subtraction is adding absolute error; multiplication/division is adding of relative errors. I showed it to my prof relatively...

I'm sorry, I do not understand what you mean by rule. As far as I can tell I have not violated any rules? I'm really just curious to know if anyone has an idea why the uncertainty would be different depending on which equation is used to solve for I2.

Homework Statement I am having trouble determining the error for a set of linear equations that represent a simple circuit with two voltage sources. I have found two possible uncertainties by solving using substitution, detailed below. The circuit is shown below...
