Tutorial 1 Measurement Standard and Error

1. Describe the four categories of standard. 2. The current through a resistor is 1.5 A, but measurement yields a value of 1.46 A. Com ute the absolute error and the ercentage of error of the measurement. 3. The value of a resistor is 2 !" ho#ever, measurement yields a value of 1.$% !.

4. Determine the total uncertainty in the value found for a resistor measures using a bridge circuit for #hich the balance e+uation is , - (./0, given . - 1111 2 1.15 er cent and 0 - 111 1.15 er cent and ( is a resistance bo) having four decades as follo#s&

5. The resistance of a circuit is found by measuring current flo#ing and the o#er fed into the circuit. *ind the limiting error in the measurement of resistance #hen the limiting errors in the measurement of o#er and current are res ectively 21.53 and 2 1.13. 6. The solution for the un!no#n resistance for a 4heatstone 5ridge is
