- Teaching accuracy measurement.
- Encouraging critical evaluation of errors.
- Reinforcing arithmetic and percentage calculations.
- Providing insights into experimental reliability.
- Developing problem-solving skills in error analysis.
How to Find Percent Error?
- Determine the experimental value (measured value) and the true value (accepted or known value).
- Find the absolute difference between the experimental value \( E \)) and the true value (\( T \)): \( |E - T| \)
- Divide the absolute difference by the true value `(T T T)` and multiply by `100` to express it as a percentage:
`\text{Percent Error} = \left( \frac{|E - T|}{T} \right) \times 100` - Interpret the result to determine the accuracy of the experimental value.
