Your Idea of systematic error?
|
Error : An error may be defined as the difference between the measured value and the Actual value (True value). The true value is the average of the infinite number of measurements, and the measured value is a single measuring of the object with the aim of being as accurate as possible.
Systematic Error: Systematic errors can be divide into three parts,
- Environmental Errors
- Observational Errors
- Instrumental Errors
Environmental Errors: This type of error arises in the measurement due to the effect of the external conditions on the measurement. The external condition includes temperature, pressure, and humidity and can also include an external magnetic field.
Observational Errors: These are the errors that arise due to an individual’s bias, lack of proper setting of the apparatus, or an individual’s carelessness in taking observations. The measurement errors also include wrong readings due to Parallax errors.
Instrumental Errors: These errors arise due to faulty construction and calibration of the measuring instruments. Such errors arise due to the hysteresis of the equipment or due to friction. many times, the equipment being used is faulty due to misuse which changes the reading of the equipment.
