According to what my teacher told me that in order to solve unit 3, u need to bu
ild a strong concept base of unit 1 and 2. And for each of the practicals mentio
n above u need to know the "safety" for each practicals. and practice questions
from sample assessment and all the questions papers of june and jan papers which
u can get from edexcel website and "freeexampapers"
here are some notes to be noted and can be used while answering questions:
during an experiment there can be three kind of errors:
1. personal ----> may be due to carelessness
2. Systematic ----> may be due to fault in apparatus
3. Random ---> maybe due to invisible unseen causes
to minimize error ----> 1. repeat it again 2. take average
what is uncertainty?
fault in the apparatus due to limitation of apparatus
limitation of apparatus = least count/ precision
reliable ---> less error
Precise ---> small value
less reliable ---> more precise >>> reason: because its difficult to take small
measurement!
absolute uncertainty = least count = maximum value of uncertainty
greater than least count ---> personal error
percentage uncertainty = least count/measurement*100
