Errors and Their Types
Science > Physics > Units and Measurements > Errors and Their Types In this article, we shall study errors, their types, and terminology of errors. An error is defined as the difference between the actual or true value and the measured value. An error should not be confused with a mistake, the mistake can be […]
Science > Physics > Units and Measurements > Significant Figures In this article, we shall study the concept of significant figures and order of magnitude. Significant Figures: The digits, whose values are accurately known in a particular measurement are called significant figures. The number expressing the magnitude of measurement should be recorded with only as […]
Science > Physics > Units and Measurements > Form of Physical Equation In this article, we shall study the use of principle of homogeneity to derive the form of the physical equation. Example – 01: The hydrostatic pressure P of a liquid column depends upon density (d) and height of liquid (h) and acceleration due […]
