1 (a) A unit may be stated with a prefix that represents a power-of-ten multiple or submultiple.
Complete Table 1.1 to show the name and symbol of each prefix and the corresponding power-
of-ten multiple or submultiple. Table 1.1

(b) In the following list, underline all the units that are SI base units.
Ampere, Coulomb, Metre ,Newton [1]
(c) The potential difference V between the two ends of a uniform metal wire is given by

V = 4ρLI πd2

where d is the diameter of the wire, I is the current in the wire, L is the length of
the wire, and ρ is the resistivity of the metal . For a particular wire, the percentage
uncertainties in the values of some of the above quantities

are listed in Table 1.2

The quantities listed in Table 1.2 have values that are used to calculate ρ as 4.1 × 10–7Ωm. For
this value of ρ, calculate:
(i) the percentage uncertainty percentage uncertainty = ......................................................
% [2]

(ii) the absolute uncertainty. absolute uncertainty = .................................................. Ωm [1]
