What are the types of errors in measurement?

There are three types of errors in measurement:

• Random Error: Random errors cannot be fixed. Unknown changes in the surrounding cause these errors.
• Systematic Error:

Systematic Errors are divided into three types, as follows:

1. Instrumental Error: This error occurs due to three main reasons:
2. Effect of loading
3. Limitations of devices
4. Misuse of Instruments
5. Environmental Error: Changes in the environment causes environmental errors.

• Observational Error: Wrong observation of the readings causes observational errors.
• Gross Error: This error occurs because of human mistakes while taking measurements.

I have made a chart using Microsoft PowerPoint. Refer to this chart to understand the types of errors in measurement.
