CHAPTER 2 Experimental Data and Errors 2.1)

Accuracy of a measurement specifies the difference between the measured and the true value of the quantity. Precision specifies the repeatability of a set of readings, each made independently with the same instrument. P. 33-34

2.2) The three classes of measurement errors are Human, System, and Random. Fig. 2.4, P. 38 2.3)

Several examples are given in Fig. 2.4, P. 38

2.4)

Error for voltmeter: ± 2% × 50V = ± 1V Percent error =

Measured Value - True Value × 100% True Value

Percent error for 15 V measurement =

Percent error for 42 V measurement = 2.5)

(15

± 1) - 15 × 100% = ± 6.67% 15

( 42

± 1) - 42 × 100% = ± 2.4% 42

Error for ammeter 0.5% × 50 mA = 0.25 mA (The error on most analog meters is usually based on full scale. Possible error 13 mA ± 0.25 mA Limits 12.75 mA → 13.25 mA
