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

1) Find mean, eliminate anomalie
2) uncertanity= (largest - smallest)/2
3) percentage uncertainty = uncertanity/measurement x100
