The temperature difference and the error therein were calculated to be 30°c ± 1°c.
Given:
t1 = 20°c ± 0.5°c
t2 = 50°c ± 0.5°c
To find:
Temperature difference
Formula to be used:
Temperature difference = t2 - t1
Solution:
The range of difference that occurs between the exact value and approximate value is called absolute error.
Temperature difference = t2 - t1
Temperature difference = (50°c ± 0.5°c) – (20°c ± 0.5°c)
Temperature difference = 30°c ± 1°c
