Defining uncertainty
Total range of values
within which
a measurement is likely to lie
๏‚—For linear scales it is ยฑ 0.5 X LC
๏‚—For circular scales its ยฑ LC
Absolute uncertainty (AU)
๏‚— Reading with absolute uncertainty =
Nearest Reading with ยฑ LC
๏‚— Note: AU is stated to one significant figure only
๏‚— Some examples:
๏‚— A reading with metre scale such as
15 ยฑ 1 mm
๏‚— A reading with Vernier callipers such as
15.2 ยฑ 0.1 mm
๏‚— A reading with micrometer screw such as
15.25 ยฑ 0.01 mm
Percentage uncertainty
๏‚— At times manufacturers quote uncertainty of
instruments on them in percentage
๏‚— For example a digital voltmeter could be quoted as
ยฑ% ยฑ2 digits
๏‚— Where
๏ƒ˜ ยฑ% applies the total reading shown on the scale
๏ƒ˜ ยฑ2 digit is the uncertainty on the final display on the screen
Accuracy and precision - 1
๏‚—Accuracy pertains to
๏‚— Minimum error in measurement
๏‚— Expressed as closeness to the โ€˜true/known
valueโ€™
๏‚—Factors affecting accuracy
๏‚— Equipment used with no zero error
๏‚— Reducing uncertainties
Accuracy and precision - 2
๏‚— Precision stands for the closeness of measured values to
one another
๏‚— If three random or repeated measurements are taken, if the
more close they are, the more is the precision
๏‚— In other words, the smaller the range of measurement, the
more precise are the measurements
๏‚— Notes:
๏ƒผ The skilfulness of the user of the instrument and reduction
in random errors makes measurement precise
๏ƒผ Mainly, accuracy and precision depend on the choice of
instruments and skilfulness of the user
