Open in App
Solution

In physics, there are two kinds of errors:

  1. Random Errors: When repeated measurements of the quantity yield different results under the same conditions, this is referred to as random error.
  2. This random error occurs for unknown reasons.
  3. Systematic Errors: Systematic errors occur when all physical quantity measurements are affected equally and produce consistent differences in readings.
  4. This systematic error could be caused by instrument calibration failure, the measuring instrument has no errors, and calibration issues with measuring. instruments
