The difference between the measured
value and the actual value is called
Error.
Error
In an experiment certain errors may arise due
to experimenter, or to the instrument used or
due to both.
we divide these errors into three categories,
named:
1. Personal Errors
2. Systematic Errors
3. Random Errors
Errors and Accuracy
1. Personal Error:
An error comes into play because of faulty
procedure adopted by the observer is called
"PERSONAL ERROR".
Personal error comes into existence due to
making an error in reading a scale. It is due to faulty
procedure adopted by the person making
measurement.
Errors and Accuracy
1. Systematic Error:
The type of error arises due to defect in the
measuring device is known as "SYSTEMATIC
ERROR"
Generally it is called "ZERO ERROR". it
may be positive or negative error. Systematic error
can be removed by correcting measurement device.
Errors and Accuracy
1. Random Error
The error produced due to sudden
change in experimental conditions is called
"RANDOM ERROR".
Errors and Accuracy
The degree to which the result of a
measurement, calculation, or
specification conforms to the correct
value or a standard is accuracy.
Accuracy
5. errors and accuracy
