5 Questions
What is the absolute error for a measured value $a_{1}$ with mean value $a_{m}$?
$|\Delta a_{1}| = |a_{m} - a_{1}|$
How can random errors in measurements be minimized?
Taking a large number of readings and finding their mean value
What does the mean value represent for 'n' readings of a physical quantity?
The average of the 'n' readings
How does the least count of an instrument affect measurement errors?
A smaller least count reduces measurement errors
What is the effect of sudden changes in experimental conditions on random errors?
Sudden changes in experimental conditions can lead to random errors
Learn about random errors, which occur due to sudden changes in experimental conditions, and how to minimize their effect on measurements. Explore methods for minimizing such errors and their impact on the accuracy of experimental results.
