Physical quantities : Physical quantities are building blocks of physics in terms of which the laws of physies are expressed. These quantities are measurable and represented by a number, followed by a unit ‘© Physical quantities are divided into two types > Fundamental quantities : These quantities are those which cannot de defined in terms of any other ‘physical quantity. Those physical quantities which do not depend on any other quantity are called fundamental quantities. These quantities are also called base quantities. Examples : Length, mass, time, ete, > Derived quantities : These quantities are those whose defining operations (formulae) are based on fundamental quantities. The physical quantities which are derived from fundamental quantities and which depend on themare called derived quantities. Derived quantities are obtained by diving or multiplying {wo or more fundamental quantities. Examples : Speed, velocity, density, force, work, power, etc. Unit : A unit is a dimension (size) chosen as standard to measure a physical quantity. In other words, it is the reference standard used to measure a physical quantity. For measuring of a physical quantity a definite ‘magnitude of quantity is taken as standard and the name is given to this standard is called untt.

Precision : Precision tells us to what resolution or limit the quantity is measured. The precision of a measurement is determined by the least count of a measuring instrument. The smaller i the east count larger isthe precession cf the measurement. © The accuracy in measurement may depend on several factors, including the limit or the resolution of the ‘measuring instrument. For example, suppose the true value of a certain length is near 3.678 em. In one experiment, using a measuring instrument of resolution 0.1 cm, the measured value is found to be 3.5 cm, while in another experiment using a measuring device of greater resolution, say 0.01 em, the length is determined to be 3.38 cm. The first measurement has more accuracy (because it is closer to the true value) but less precision (is resolution is only 0.1 cm), while the second measurement is less accurate bbut more precise. Thus, every measurement Is approximate due to errors in measurement, © Limit ofprecsion(LO.P) of a measuring deviceis 5 ofthe smalest division of measurement ofthe device. i 1 3 LOR, = £5 (least count) i > For meter rod, least count = 1mm ; LO.P. = = 0.5 mm ] > For verniercallipers, least count = 0.1 mm ; L.O.P. = + 0,05 mm g » For screw gauge, least count = 0.01 mm ; L.O.P. = + 0.005 mm > Suppose measured value of length using meter scale is 63.7 em, then tue value lies in the range 53.7 em + 0.5 mm or 53.7 cm + 0.05 cm, That is true value is between 53.65 om to 53.75 cm. 5 USO Types of errors : In general, the errors in measurement can be broadly cassified as a) systematic erors and (b) random error. © Systematic errors : The systematic ertors are those errors that tend to bein one direction, either postive Cr negative. Some of the sources of systematic errors are : > Instrumental errors that arise from the errors due to imperfect design or calibration of the measuring instrument, zero errorin the instrument, etc, For example, the temperature grackations ofa themometer ray be inadequately calibrated (t may read 104 °C at the balling point of water at STP whereas it should read 100 ‘C); in a vernier calipers the zero mark of vemier scale may not coincide with the zero mark of the main scale, or simply an ondinary meter scale may be worn off at one end. > Imperfection in experimental technique or procedure. To determine the temperature of a human body, a thermometer placed under the armpit will aluays give a temperature lower than the actual value ofthe body temperature. Other extemal conditions (such as changes in temperature, humidity, \wind velocity, et) during the experiment may systematically affect the measurement. > Personal errors that arise due to an indvual's bas, lack of proper setting ofthe apparatus orindial's carelessness in taking observations without observing proper precautions, etc. For example, if you, by habit, alvays hold your head a bit too far to the right while reading the positon of a needle on the scale, you will introduce an error due to. parallax. > Systematic errors can be minimised by improving experimental techniques, selecting better instruments and removing personal bias as far as possible. For a given set-up, these errors may be estimated to a cerlain extent and the necessary corrections may be applied to the readings. © Random errors : The random errors are those errors, which occur fregulariy and hence are random ‘with respeetto sgn and size. These can arise due to random and unpredictable fluctuations in experimental conditions (e.g. unpredictable fluctuations in temperature, voltage supply, mechanical vibrations of experimental setups, etc), personal (unbiased) errors by the observer taking readings, ete. For example, \when the same person repeats the same observation, itis very kely that he may get different readings every time © Least count error : The least count error isthe error associated with the resolution of the instrument. Least count error belongs to the category of random errors but within a limited size; it occurs with both systematic and random errs Example : Verner calipers has least count of 0.1 mm, thus least count error in measurement for vernier caliper is 450.1 mm) = + 0.05 mm > Using instruments of higher precision, improving experimental techniques, etc, we can reduce the least count err. Repeating the observations several times and taking the athmetic mean of ll the observations, the mean value would be very close to the true value of the measured quantity. © Gross errors : These errors arise on account of shear carelessness of the observer. For example, reading an instrument without setting it properly; taking observations wrongly without caring for sources of errors and precautions ; reading and using wrong values of observation in calculations, etc > Gross errors can be minimised only when observer is sincere and alert © Constant errors : When the result of a series of observations are in error by the same amount, the error is called constant error. Absolute error, relative error and percentage error : Let n values are obtained to measure a given Quantity. Let a,, ay ay...) a, be the values obtained for the given measurement, The arithmetic mean of those values is faken as the best possible value of the quantity under the given conditions of measurement: This is considered as true value © Truc value, a= 257827847 {Absolute error: The magnitude ofthe ciferene between the ine value of the quantity and the indivi measurement value is called the absolute error of the measurement.

Calculate the temperature difference and the maximum possible error. Solution : Here, true value of t, = 50 °C and error in t,, At, = 0.5 °C; true value of t, = 20 °C and error in t,, At, = 0.5 °C. We have to find the difference of two temperatures i.e Difference of the true values = 50 °C - 20 C = 30°C Maximum possible error, At = At, + At, = 0.5 °C + 0.5 °C =1°C Remember, absolute errors are alvays added when two or more measurements are in the addition or subtraction form.) Significant figures : The number of digits whose values are known with certainty plus the first uncertain dit are known as significant figures, For instance, a person's height is measuted to be 1.78 m, with the measurement error being in the third decimal place. All three digits are known with certainty, so that the ‘number contains three significant figures. If a zero is given as the last digit to the right of the decimal point, the zero is presumed to be significant. Thus, the number 1.780 m contains four significant figures. © Rules to find significant figures : > Allthe non-zero dlghts are significant, For example, if the number or measured value is 4536, it has 4 significant figures as all the digits involved are non-zero digits. > All the zeros between two non-zero digits are significant, no matter where the decimal point is, if decimal point is present in the number. For example, in the number 1003, there are 4 significant figures as there are two non-zero digits and the two zer0s are also significant as they ate present between two non-zero numbers. Similarly, in the number, 120.007, there are 6 significant figures. > If the number is less than 1, the zerofs) on the right of decimal point but to the left of the first non-zero digit are not significant. For example, in the number, 0.002358, two zeros on the right of decimal point but to the left of the first non-zero digit 2 are not significant. > The terminal or trailing zero(s) in @ number without a decimal point are not significant. For example, considera distance of 1500 m. This number contains only two significant figures, the one and the five. ‘The zerosimmediately to the eft ofthe unexpressed decimal point are not counted as significant figures. > The trailing zero(s) in a number with a decimal point are significant. For example, in the number 4.600, there are four significant figures, the number 0.00750 has three significant figures, © ‘Scientific notation is particularly convenient from the point of view of significant figures. Suppose itis known that a certain distance is fifteen hundred meters, with all the four digits in it are known with certainty J... it has four significant figures. Writing the number as 1500 m presents a problem because it implies that only two significant figures are known. If you write it as 1500.0 m, it has five significant figures. So Yyou can write it in the scientific notation of 1.500 x 10% m, it has the advantage of indicating that the distance is known to four significant figures. © In the scientific form lke 6.023 x 10, there are 4 significant figures ; powers of ten (.e..23) are never taken in the significant figures. © A choice of change of different units does not change the number of significant digits or figures in a ‘measurement. For example, the length 2.308 cm has four significant figures. But in different units, the same value can be wnitten as 0.02308 m or 23.08 mm or 23080 ym. © Rules for arithmetic operations with significant figures > Addition or subtraction : In addition or subtraction, the final result should retain as many decimal places as are there in the number with the least decimal places Example : While adding the numbers 457.34, 334.7 and 2,603, the final result should contain only lone significant figures after the decimal places. This is because among the three given numbers, the ‘number 334.7 contains only one significant figure after the decimal place which is least in this case. > Multiplication or division : In multiplication or division, the final reut should retain as many significant, figures as are there in the original number with the least significant figures. Example : In the product of two numbers 3.568 and 6.52, the final result should contain only three significant figures. This is because among the two given numbers, the number 6.52 contains only three significant figure which is least in this case. i g a Physics Ae cag off the uncertain digits © The preceding digits raised by 1 ifthe insignificant digit to be dropped is more than 5, andis left unchanged if the later is less than 5, Example : If a number 3.646 is to be rounded off to three significant figures, then it becomes 3.65, while the number 3.643 becomes 3.64, © IF the insignificant digit is 5, then > If the preceding digit is even, the insignificant digit is simply dropped > If itis odd, the preceding digit is raised by 1. Example : If 2 number 3.645 is to be rounded off to three significant figures, then it becomes 3.64, hile the number 3.655 becomes 3.66. © Example : Each side of a cube is measured to be 6.13 m. What are the total surface area and the volume Of the cube to appropriate significant figures ? Solution : Surface area = 6a? = 6 x (6.13 = 225.4614 m? Now, this number should be rounded off to 3 significant figures as the measured length 6.13 consists of 3 significant figures, Surface area = 225.4614 m* = 225,461 m?= 225.46 m?= 225.5 m? = 226 m? Volume = a? = (6.13) = 230.346397 m* ‘Again, this number should be rounded off to 3 significant figures for the same reason. = Volume = 230.346397 m’ = 230.3464 m! = 230.346 m? = 230.35 m? = 230.4 m? = 230 m* VEcToRS Scalar and vector quantities © Scalar quantities : The physical quantities which are defined by their magnitudes only are called ‘scalar quantities.
