Subject content
- You are required to demonstrate your ability to use instruments that:
- have the potential for a parallax error
- require a zero error correction or reading
- have a digital display
- have more than one scale to select from.
You need to demonstrate proficiency in the measurement of at least three different physical quantities. -
Students will be expected to be familiar with the following graphs:
