Which of the following experimental techniques reduces the systematic error of the quantity being investigated?
Measuring the diameter of a wire repeatedly and calculating the average.
Plotting a series of voltages and current readings for an ohmic device on a graph and using its gradient to find resistance.
Adjusting an ammeter to remove its zero error before measuring a current.
Timing a large number of oscillations to find a period.
Vernier calipers, reading to 0.1 mm, are used to find the internal diameter (10.0 ± 0.1 mm) and the external diameter (12.0 ± 0.1 mm) of a length of glass tubing. The mean wall thickness would be quoted, therefore, as
2.0 ± 0.0 mm.
2.0 ± 0.1 mm.
1.0 ± 0.2 mm.
1.0 ± 0.1 mm.
