How do you calculate the percentage error in a measurement or calculation?

To calculate the percentage error in a measurement or calculation, you first find the difference between the measured or calculated value and the accepted or true value. Then, divide this difference by the accepted value and multiply by 100 to get the percentage error. The formula is: Percentage Error (Measured Value - Accepted Value / Accepted Value) x 100


Is resistor measured in amps?

No, resistors are measured in ohms, not amps. Ohms represent the resistance offered by the resistor to the flow of current, whereas amps (amperes) represent the measure of current flowing through a circuit.


In physics what is the use of meter bridge?

A meter bridge is used to measure an unknown electrical resistance by comparing it with a known resistance. It works on the principle of Wheatstone bridge. By balancing the bridge circuit, the value of the unknown resistance can be calculated accurately.


What is the difference between resistor and resistance?

Resistance is the property of a conductor, which determines the quantity of current that passes through it when a potential difference is applied across it. A resistor is a electrical componet with a predetermined electrical resistance, like 1 ohm, 10 ohms 100 ohms 10000 ohms etc.. depending on how much current you want to pass through a circuit, you would design the circuit with the required resistors


How are the error and the percent error of a measurement calculated?

Take the correct value, subtract the value you got, and then divide that figure by the correct value. Then take the absolute value of that and multiply by 100. For example, say I weighed something and got that it was 2.5 grams, but it really was 2.7 grams. 2.7-2.5=.2. .2/2.7=.074. .074*100=7.4. Thus, I had 7.4% error. Another example: 16-15=-1. -1/15=-.067. .067*100=6.7% error.

What the function of tolerance for resistor colour code?

Tolerance indicates how much the measured value of a resistance is different from its theoretical value, and it is calculated using percentages.

IF The weight of a rock is measured at 2.5 pounds what is the percent error in this measurement?

The percent error is calculated by taking the absolute difference between the measured value and actual value, dividing it by the actual value, and then multiplying by 100. If the actual weight is not provided, the percent error cannot be calculated.


What is the percentage error in p?

Percentage error in p is calculated by taking the absolute difference between the measured value and the true value, dividing by the true value, and then multiplying by 100 to get the percentage. The formula is |(measured value - true value) / true value| * 100.

Can the absolute error be a negative?

No, the absolute error cannot be negative. Absolute error is defined as the absolute value of the difference between the measured value and the true value, which ensures that it is always non-negative. It is calculated as |measured value - true value|, and since absolute values are always positive or zero, the absolute error itself will also never be negative.

What is the value of amperes for 100 volts at constant resistance?

V = I*R, so take 100 volts and divide it by the value of the resistance to get the current. Current is measured in amperes.
