Question

How do your experimental and theoretical values compare (discuss percent error from Question 4)? Explain any discrepancies and list TWO sources of error

Answer 1

To compare the experimental and theoretical values of the experiment we use "percentage error".

There are many sources of error in experiment, major two are

1. Instrument error
2. Human Error

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage error is the error that is used to calculate the difference between measured value and calculated value of experiment.

The formula for percentaage error is given below:

Percentage Error = (Theo. value - Meas. Value/Theo. Value) X 100
