The following table provides the set of values of $V$ and $I$ obtained for a given diode. Let the characteristics be nearly linear. Over this range,the forward and reverse bias resistance of the given diode respectively are:
Condition $V$ $I$
Forward biasing $2.0 \, V$ $60 \, mA$
Forward biasing $2.4 \, V$ $80 \, mA$
Reverse biasing $0 \, V$ $0 \, \mu A$
Reverse biasing $-2 \, V$ $-0.25 \, \mu A$

The current-voltage relation of a diode is given by $I = (e^{1000V/T} - 1) \; mA$,where the applied voltage $V$ is in volts and the temperature $T$ is in Kelvin. If a student makes an error of $\pm 0.01 \; V$ while measuring the voltage to obtain a current of $5 \; mA$ at $300 \; K$,what will be the error in the value of the current in $mA$?
