Teaching UP PGT Mock Test Series 2024 Physics Units, Dimensions and Measurements Accuracy, precision of instruments and errors in measurement
Consider the following statements:
- If a quantity B is raised to power n ( Bn ), its relative error is given by \(n(\frac{\Delta B}{B})\)
- When two quantities are multiplied or divided the relative error in the result is the product of relative errors in the multipliers.
- Percentage error is calculated using instrumental error.
- In a certain experiment, the mean absolute error ( Δ bmean ) for the 4 measurements b1, b2, b3, and b4 will be \(\frac {(| \Delta b_{1}| +| \Delta b_{2}|+| \Delta b_{3}|+| \Delta b_{4}|)} {4}\)
