How to quantify relatively simple experimental errors

[QUOTE="gneill, post: 5003840, member: 293536"] One thing to be leery about is the behavior of any given voltmeter when using it to read non pure DC or non sinusoidal voltages. The old analog meter movements were pretty good at measuring average values due to the inertia of the coil movement. Modern digital voltmeters are at the whim of manufacturer's choice on how to sample and process the readings. The better ones have "true RMS" processing built in. You might want to see if you can dig up the manufacturer's specs on the meter you used for the lab to see what it does with these things. Who knows, they might have a correction method for certain situations. [/QUOTE]
