Differentiate between positive and negetive error of measuring instrument by giving suitable example
Answers
Neg. 0error:when the 0of vernier is on the right side of the main scale zero then negative error.. Hope it helps you...
Explanation:
The measurement of an amount is based on some international standards which are completely accurate compared with others. Generally, measurement of any quantity is done by comparing it with derived standards with which they are not completely accurate. Thus, the errors in measurement are not only due to error in methods, but are also due to derivation being not done perfectly well. So, 100% measurement error is not possible with any methods.
It is very important for the operator to take proper care of the experiment while performing on industrial instruments so that the error in measurement can be reduced. Some of the errors are constant in nature due to the unknown reasons, some will be random in nature, and the other will be due to gross blunder on the part of the experimenter.
