It does not depend on any other physical quantity. Ex: Length (L), Time (T), Mass (M) etc.<\/p>\n \u2192 Fundamental quantities in SI System : In SI system length, mass, time, electric current, thermodynamic temperature, amount of substance and luminous intensity are taken as fundamental quantities.<\/p>\n \u2192 Derived quantity: A derived quantity is pro-duced by the combination of fundamental quantities (i.e., by division or by multiplica-tion of fundamental quantities). \u2192 Unit: The standard which is used to measure the physical quantity is called the Unit’.<\/p>\n \u2192 Fundamental unit: The units of the funda-mental quantities are called the “fundamental units”. \u2192 Basic units or fundamental units of SI system : The basic units in S.I. system are Length \u2192 metre (L), Mass \u2192 kilogram (kg), Time second (s); electric current \u2192 ampere (amp), Thermodynamic temperature \u2192 Kelvin (K); Amount of substance \u2192 mole (mol); Luminous intensity \u2192 candela (cd); Auxilliary units : Plane angle \u2192 Radian (rad); Solid angle \u2192 steradian (sr)<\/p>\n \u2192 Derived units: The units of derived quantities are known as “derived units”. \u2192 International system of units (S.I. units) : \u2192 Accuracy: Accuracy indicates the closeness of a measured value to the true value of the quantity. If we are very close to the true value then our accuracy is high.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u2192 Precision : Precision depends on the least measurable value of the instrument. If the least measurable value is too less, then precision of that instrument is high. \u2192 Error: The uncertainty of measurement of a physical quantity is called “error”. Note : 1) Instrumental errors: These errors arise due to the imperfect design or faulty calibration of instruments. 2) Imperfection of experimental technique: These errors are due to the procedure followed during experiment or measurements. Ex : 1) Measurement of body temperature at armpit 2) Simple pendulum oscillations with high amplitude.<\/p>\n 3) Personal errors: These errors arise due to an individual\u2019s approach or due to lack of proper setting of apparatus. \u2192 Methods To Reduce Systematic Errors : \u2192 Random errors : \u2192 Least count error: This is a systematic error. It depends on the smallest value that can be measured by the instrument. \u2192 Arithmetic mean: The average value of all the measurements is taken as arithmetic mean. Then the arithmetic mean \u2192 Absolute error (|\u0394a|): The magnitude of the difference between the individual measurement and true value of the quantity is called absolute error of the measurement. It is denoted by |\u0394a| \u2192 Mean absolute error ( Aa[nrnnl: The arithmetic mean value of all absolute errors is known as mean absolute error. \u2192 Relative error: Relative error is the ratio of the mean absolute error A amean to the mean value a mean of the quantity measure. <\/p>\n \u2192 Percentage error (\u03b4a): When relative error is expressed in percent then it is called percentage error. \u2192 Significant figures: The scientific way to report a result must always have all the reliably known (measured) values plus one uncertain digit (first digit). These are known as “significant figures”. \u2192 Rules in determining significant numbers<\/p>\n \u2192 Rules for arithmetic operation with sig-nificant figures 2. In addition or subtraction, the final result should retain as many decimal places as are there in the number with the least decimal places. \u2192 Rounding off the uncertain digits Rules for rounding off procedure : In rounding off the numbers to the required number of significant digits the following rules are followed.<\/p>\n \u2192 Dimension: The power of a fundamental quantity in the given derived quantity is called \u2192 Dimensional formula: It is a mathematical expression giving relation between various fundamental quantities of a derived physical quantity. \u2192 Uses of dimensional methods :<\/p>\n \u2192 Dimensional formulae of physical quantities: Here students can locate TS Inter 1st Year Physics Notes 2nd Lesson Units and Measurements to prepare for their exam.

\nS.I. system consists of seven fundamental quantities and two supplementary quantities. To measure these quantities S.I. system consists of seven fundamental or basic units and two auxiliary units.<\/p>\n
\nEx : Least measured value of vernier callipers is 0.1 mm
\nLeast count of screw gauge is 0.01 mm.
\nAmong these two, the precision of the screw gauge is high.<\/p>\n
\n\u2192 Systematic errors : Systematic errors always tend to be in one direction i.e., positive or negative. For systematic errors, we know the reasons for the error. They can be reduced by proper correction or by proper care. Ex:<\/p>\n\n
\nSystematic errors are classified as<\/p>\n\n
\nEx : Zero error in screw gauge.<\/p>\n
\nEx : Parallax error is a personal error.<\/p>\n
\nSystematic errors can be minimized by improving experimental techniques, by selecting better instruments and by removing personal errors.<\/p>\n
\nThese errors will occur irregularly. They may be positive (or) negative in sign. We cannot predict the presence of these errors.
\nEx:<\/p>\n\n
\nLeast count error can be minimized by using instruments of highest precision.<\/p>\n
\nLet the number of observations be a1<\/sub>, a2<\/sub>, a3<\/sub> ……….. an<\/sub><\/p>\n
\namean<\/sub> = \\(\\frac{\\mathbf{a}_1+\\mathbf{a}_2+\\mathbf{a}_3+\\ldots \\ldots \\ldots .+\\mathbf{a}_{\\mathbf{n}}}{\\mathbf{n}}\\)

\nAbsolute error
\n|\u0394a| = |amean<\/sub> – ai<\/sub>|
\n= |True value – measured value|<\/p>\n
\nLet \u2018n\u2019 measurements are taken, then their absolute errors are, say |\u0394a1<\/sub>|, |\u0394a2<\/sub>|, |\u0394a3<\/sub>| …….. ||\u0394an<\/sub>|, then

\nThis additional digit indicates the uncertainty of measurement.
\nEx: In a measurement, the length of a body is reported as 287.5 cm. Then, in that measu-rement, the length is believable up to 287 cm
\ni. e., the digits 2, 8 and 7 are certain. The first digit (5) is uncertain. Its value may change.<\/p>\n\n
\nEx : In a result 0.002308 the zeros before the digit \u20182\u2019 are non significant.<\/li>\n
\nEx : In the result 3.500 or 0.06900 the last zeros are significant. So number of significant figures are four in each case.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n1. In multiplication or division, the final result should retain as many significant figures as are there in the original number with the least significant figures.
\nEx : In the division \\(\\frac{4.237}{2.51}\\) the significant figures are 4 and 3, so least significant figures are \u20183\u2019.
\n\\(\\frac{4.237}{2.51}\\) = 1.69 i.e., final answer must have only \u20183\u2019 significant digits.<\/p>\n
\nEx: 436.26g + 227.2 g Here least number of significant figures after decimal point is one.
\n436.26 + 272.2 = 708.46 must be expressed as 708.5 (after rounding off the last digit).<\/p>\n\n
\n(a) If the preceding significant figure is an odd number then add one to it.
\n(b) If the preceding significant figure is an even number then it is unchanged and 5 is discarded.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
