AI Thread Summary
Discrepancies in circuit evaluations can arise from various factors, including differences in wire resistance, personal measurement errors, incorrect dial readings, and component tolerances. Internal resistance of measurement meters is also a significant source of error. The original poster is seeking additional reasons for the differences between measured and calculated values. They express uncertainty about how to share their circuit setup for further assistance. The discussion highlights the importance of accurate measurements and understanding potential sources of error in circuit evaluations.

i am doing an evaluation on a circuit in which i measured all the values e.g the current, voltage etc, and i also calculated the values.
there is a large diffrence in between the measured and calculated values, can anybody give me some reasons for this.
ive got some which are - diffrent resinstance in the wire, personal errors, reading the dial's wrong, the tolerances on the components.
is there anything else which i could talk about?
thanks

Yes, the internal resistance of the meters can be serious source of errors. Show your set up, please.

thanks for the help,, also i am new on here an I am not too sure how to put my circuits up,, but anyway I've handed my work in!
 
Thread 'Minimum mass of a block'
Here we know that if block B is going to move up or just be at the verge of moving up ##Mg \sin \theta ## will act downwards and maximum static friction will act downwards ## \mu Mg \cos \theta ## Now what im confused by is how will we know " how quickly" block B reaches its maximum static friction value without any numbers, the suggested solution says that when block A is at its maximum extension, then block B will start to move up but with a certain set of values couldn't block A reach...
TL;DR Summary: Find Electric field due to charges between 2 parallel infinite planes using Gauss law at any point Here's the diagram. We have a uniform p (rho) density of charges between 2 infinite planes in the cartesian coordinates system. I used a cube of thickness a that spans from z=-a/2 to z=a/2 as a Gaussian surface, each side of the cube has area A. I know that the field depends only on z since there is translational invariance in x and y directions because the planes are...
Thread 'Calculation of Tensile Forces in Piston-Type Water-Lifting Devices at Elevated Locations'
Figure 1 Overall Structure Diagram Figure 2: Top view of the piston when it is cylindrical A circular opening is created at a height of 5 meters above the water surface. Inside this opening is a sleeve-type piston with a cross-sectional area of 1 square meter. The piston is pulled to the right at a constant speed. The pulling force is(Figure 2): F = ρshg = 1000 × 1 × 5 × 10 = 50,000 N. Figure 3: Modifying the structure to incorporate a fixed internal piston When I modify the piston...
