The force exerted by a magnetic field on a wire having length $L$ and current $I$ is perpendicular to the wire and given as $|F| = IL|B|$. An experimental plot shows $|F|$ as a function of $L$. The plot is a straight line with a slope $S = (10 \pm 1) \times 10^{-5} \ T$. The current in the wire is $I = (15 \pm 1) \ mA$. The percentage error in $B$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{50}{3}\%$
  • B
    $\frac{20}{3}\%$
  • C
    $\frac{40}{3}\%$
  • D
    $12\%$
