Key Stage 4
Meaning
A zero error is a type of systematic error, caused by a measuring instrument not being calibrated.
About Zero Errors
- A zero error may be found when plotting the scatter graph for an experiment where it is known the two variables should be directly proportional but they appear to only be proportional have a y-intercept that is not zero.
- A zero error can be corrected by calibrating the measuring instruments before an experiment.
