:kind of errors personal ----> may be due to carelessness .1 Systematic ----> may be due to fault in apparatus .2 Random ---> maybe due to invisible unseen .3 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
