More on Systematic Error in a Boyle's Law Experiment
McCall, Richard P.
Physics Teacher, v50 n1 p22-24 Jan 2012
A recent article in "The Physics Teacher" describes a method for analyzing a systematic error in a Boyle's law laboratory activity. Systematic errors are important to consider in physics labs because they tend to bias the results of measurements. There are numerous laboratory examples and resources that discuss this common source of error.
