    Random errors in experiments can occur due to changes in environmental conditions, imprecise measurements, or differences between observers. Systematic errors happen consistently and include issues like instruments that cannot read zero accurately, observers who always make the same mistake, incorrect calibration, energy lost to friction, or poorly made devices.

    Examples of random errors: Changes in experimental conditions such as temperature, pressure or humidity, or vibrations and air convection currents

    s in mass readings. Variations in the thickness of a surface being measured.


    Human parallax error (e.g not reading the scale exactly head on). A different person reading the instrument. Malfunction of a piece of apparatus.

    Examples of systematic errors: Zero error, when the instrument cannot read zero when the quantity is zero. An observer consistently making the same mistake.

    Apparatus calibrated incorrectly. Energy converted to heat due to friction on a pulley. Badly made instruments. The experimenters reaction time.
