Young's Modulus experiment evaluation worksheet

Evaluate a set of experimental data obtained during an experiment to determine the Young’s Modulus of a copper wire. Tasks include:

1. calculating the absolute and percentage experimental uncertainty in quantities,
2. application of uncertainty rules,
3. drawing error bars,
4. drawing lines of worst acceptable fit,
5. determining uncertainty in a gradient value, and
6. converting a percentage uncertainty into an absolute uncertainty.

Full solutions are included. This is an excellent follow up exercise to the Young’s Modulus Experiment Worksheet. The raw measurements are related but slightly different to make for a better experience in this evaluation worksheet.

Perfect for A-level physics students on any specification.

This worksheet is ideal for home learning since it has an accompanying video explanation of the experiment, the analysis of results and solutions to all questions are included in the document.
