LINK Absolute Uncertainty (Absolute Error)

The absolute uncertainty (usually called absolute error - but "error" connotes "mistake", and these are NOT mistakes) is the size of the range of values in which the "true value" of the measurement probably lies. If a measurement is given as 25.4 ±0.1g, the absolute uncertainty is 0.1 g.

Combinations of Resistors

• Resistors In Series• When several resistors, eg. R1, R2, and R3 are connected in series, as above:-• the same current, I, passes through each resistor,• the applied voltage, V, is equal to the sum of the voltages across the separate resistors :• => V = V1 + V2 + V3• the total resistance, R, is the sum of the separate resistors.• => R = R1 + R2 + R3

R = R1 + R2 + R3

• What single resistor could replace the three resistors shown in the diagram below?

• R = R1 + R2 + R3 • = 1.4 + 2.2 + 3.7 • = 7.3kΩ

Resistors In Parallel• When two resistors, e.g. R1 and R2, are

connected in parallel:-

• Remember the voltage across each resistor is the same, V,

• The total current, I, is equal to the sum of the currents in the separate resistors,

I = I1 + I2

• The resulting resistance, R, is given by:-
