SUBMITTED TO – KISHORE SIR
TOPICS FOR PPT

• Accuracy
• Precision of instruments
• Errors in measurements and it’s types
ACCURACY

The accuracy of a measurement is a measure of how


close the measured value is to the true value of the
quantity.
PRECISION OF INSTRUMENTS

Precision tells us to what resolution or limit the quantity


is measured.
ERRORS IN MEASUREMENT

• Definition of error
The result of every measurement by any measuring
instrument contains some uncertainty. This is called as
error.
RANGE AND ORDER OF TIME INTERVALS

• The period of various things is given below:


TYPES OF ERRORS

• Systematic errors – These are the errors that tend to be in one direction, either positive or
negitive. Some sources of systematic errors are:
• Instrumental error
• Imperfection in experimental technique
• Personal error
• Random error – These are the errors which occur irregularly and hence are random with
respect to size and sign.
• Least count error – It is the error associated with the resolution of the instrument.
ERRORS USED IN NUMERICALS

1. Absolute error – The magnitude of the difference between the individual measurement
and the true value of the quantity is called the absolute error of the measurement.
2. Relative error – It is the ratio of the mean absolute error to the mean value of the
quantity measured.
3. Percentage error – When the relative error is expressed in percent , it is called as
percentage error.
COMBINATION OF ERRORS

• Errors of a sum or a difference


Hence the rule : When the quantities are added or subtracted ,the absolute error in the final result is the sum
of the absolute errors in the individual quantities.
• Errors of a product or a quotient
Hence the rule :When two quantities are multiplied or divided ,the relative error in the result is the sum of
the relative errors in the multipliers.
• Error in the case of a measured quantity raised to a power
Hence the rule :The relative error in a physical quantity raised to the power k is the k times the relative error
in the individual quantity.
