unit
It defines some measurable feature of many different items. It consists of a numerical magnitude and a unit of measure.Area of the school compound, A = 5000 m2
Physical quantity magnitude
Numbers are not physical quantities. Without a unit, numbers cannot be a measure of any physical quantity.

4. Measurements in Physics4. Measurements in Physics
Measuring any physical quantity requires a measuring instrument. The reading will always have an uncertainty.
This arises because
a) experimenter is not skilled enoughb) limitations of instruments
c) environmental fluctuations
8
![Page 31: 12 13 h2_measurement_ppt](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061212/5495e2eab479591e7c8b4831/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
As a result, measurements can become unreliable if we do not use good measurement techniques.
Some common ways to minimize errors are:a) taking average of many readingsb) avoiding parallax errors
c) take readings promptly

Even when instruments with digital displays are used, there are still uncertainties in the measurements.
For example, when a digital ammeter shows 358 mA, it does not mean that the current is exactly 358 mA.

5. Errors & Uncertainties5. Errors & Uncertainties
Errors or uncertainties fall generally into 2 categories :
Systematic errors
Random errors

Random errors are errors without a fixed pattern, resulting in a scattering of readings about the mean value.

The readings are equally likely to be higher or lower than the mean value.
Example: Measuring the diameter of a awire due to its non-uniformity
Random errorsRandom errors
Random errors are of varying sign and magnitude and cannot be eliminated. Averaging repeated readings is the best way to minimize random errors.

Systematic errors are ones that occurs with a fixed pattern, resulting in a consistent over-estimation or underestimation of the actual value.

The readings are consistently higher or lower than the actual value.
Examples: zero error, wrong calibration, a clock running fast
Systematic errorsSystematic errors
Systematic errors cannot be reduced or eliminated by taking the average of repeated readings. It could be reduced by techniques such as making a mathematical correction or correcting the faulty equipment.

UncertaintyUncertainty 13
To find the uncertainty of a quantity, always make it the subject of the given equation before finding its associated uncertainty. Answers should always be rounded off to 3 significant figures except for absolute errors, which are to be rounded up to 1 s.f. The mean value is always rounded off to the same number of decimal places of the absolute error when expressed with in scientific notation.
