Physics - Error Question with Solution | TestHub
Match the type of error with its characteristic or cause.
List - I | List - II |
|---|---|
(P) Systematic Error | (1) Can be minimized by taking multiple readings and averaging |
(Q) Random Error | (2) Arises from the resolution limit of the measuring instrument |
(R) Least Count Error | (3) Occurs due to faulty calibration or incorrect experimental setup |
(S) Parallax Error | (4) Caused by improper positioning of the eye while taking a reading |
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
Systematic errors are reproducible inaccuracies due to faulty apparatus or method (P-3). Random errors are unpredictable and can be reduced by averaging multiple readings (Q-1). Least count error is due to the instrument's resolution (R-2). Parallax error occurs due to incorrect eye position (S-4).
