Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If a thermometer reads 100°C with an error of ±0.5°C, what is the maximum possible temperature?
  • Step 1: Identify the measured temperature from the thermometer, which is 100°C.
  • Step 2: Identify the error margin, which is ±0.5°C.
  • Step 3: To find the maximum possible temperature, add the error margin to the measured temperature.
  • Step 4: Calculate the maximum possible temperature: 100°C + 0.5°C = 100.5°C.
  • Measurement Error – Understanding how to apply error margins to measured values.
