Ans

Energy consumed in 58.1 seconds=\(\frac{5\ast58.1}{3600}\) kWh=0.08069kWh

Energy consumption registered=\(\frac{Number\ of\ revolution\ made}{meter\ constant\ in\ revolution/kWh}\)

\( =\frac{40}{500}=0.08kWh\)

Percentage error =\(\frac{Actual\ registration-true\ energy\ consumption}{True\ energy\ consumption}\ast100\)

\(=\frac{0.08-0.08069}{0.08069}*100=-0.8555% \)
