When asked abt choice of apparatus in volmeter and ammeter, wht are we supposed to write....Wht r there precison?!?!

Well, it depends on the situation. If you want to measure current then you should use ammeter. But if you want to measure P.d across anything like bulb, any component etc. then you should use Voltmeter. I hope this answers your question.

Thx a lot, but wht about their precision??

Precision of instruments
 mm scale (e.g: ruler or measuring tape) 0.50 mm
 Vernier 0.10 mm
 Micrometer 0.01 mm
 Stopwatch 0.01s  reaction time in stopping and starting stopwatch
 Angles 0.5º

Improving accuracy
 Repeating readings and calculating average
 Taking reading at eye level to avoid parallax error
 Hold apparatus vertically
 Release from rest (If it involves releasing something)
 Check for zero error
 Exclude anomalous values

Aisha Abdul Quddus Hope this helps.

See, dude, a couple of years ago, The mods themselves would block the forums so no one could gain an unfair advantage, but please realize this:
IAL and the reserve (R) papers were created so that the problem of timing could be solved. People in different time zones have different papers, and so, all IAL papers end together, all R papers end together and all GCE papers together. This is also the reason students no longer have key time. So, please stop putting unncessary bans on our discussions :p

So, lets discus papers ! :D

I'm preparing for IAL Physics Unit 6 and IAL Unit 6 for chemistry.

btw hows your preparation for IAL Unit 6 chemistry?
