Question
which of the following terms describe the situations in (a) -(j)?
Possible answers - random error, systematic error, correction, ormistake.
a) Your ability to interpolate to 1/5 of a smallest scaledevision.
b.) Characterizes the accuracy of a measurement
c.) A bent voltmeter needle does not read 0 when 0 volts areapplied
d.) The voltmeter reads +0.03 V when 0 volts are applied
e.) Can be found by taking repeated measurements with the sameprocedure and equipment
f.) The calibratin uncertaint of a meter
g.) You use grams in a calculation instead of kilograms
h.) the width of a reference edge in a positionmeasurement
i.) You buy tires which are known to be 5% too small so thatyour speedometer reads 5% too high.
j.) A meter needle is a few mm above the scale markings. Yourline of sight is not perpendicular to the voltmeter dialface.
Explanation / Answer
a) Your ability to interpolate to 1/5 of a smallest scaledevision....... mistake.
b.) Characterizes the accuracy of a measurement ......systematic error
c.) A bent voltmeter needle does not read 0 when 0 volts areapplied......systematic error
