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

An experiment is performed to obtain the value of acceleration due to gravity $g$ by using a simple pendulum of length $L$. In this experiment,the time for $100$ oscillations is measured by using a watch of $1$ second least count,and the value is $90.0$ seconds. The length $L$ is measured by using a meter scale of least count $1$ mm,and the value is $20.0$ cm. The error in the determination of $g$ would be ........... $\%$.
