Even with no mistakes in a carefully conducted experiment, error is expected. That word error does not mean a mistake, it means that measurements can never find exactly the quantity being measured.
Suppose you measure the length of a table top, you might find it's 48.8 inches. Does that mean 48.800000 inches? no it does not, because you can't measure to an accuracy of one millionth of an inch without special equipment. Your experimental error is the difference between your measurement and the exact length of the table.

What means the same as mistake?
Error is a synonym of mistake.
What is the different between mistake and error?
Mistake are faulty which can be avoided by careful ans properly trained experiment er.mistakes are committed due to the following causes :-1)Lack of skill 2) faulty observation 3)wrong recording ............error cannot be completely eliminated..but can be minimised....In short:= Mistake Which creat by man and error make by faulty Things which we use.....
What is a scientific error?
Error has different meanings in different contexts. In some cases it is a synonym for "mistake". In this sense "Human Error" would be careless accidents that could be avoided with care. In Scientific terms, however, "error" simply refers to the difference between an observed value and it's theoretical "expected" value, regardless of whether this difference relates to a "mistake" by the experimenter, or is the result of some uncontrolled variable in the experiment.

What does experimental error mean?
The experimental error is an error in a science experiment. Eg.If you had two chemicals that were suposed to react if you put water in them and they did nothing that would be an experimental error. jasper attard
What is the difference between an error and a mistake in physics?
There is no difference.There IS a difference. An error is the amount of deviation from a correct or accurate result. A mistake is a misunderstanding of a meaning or intention.
Experimental error caused by instrumental limitations?
Error caused by instrumental limitations is actually called systematic error, not experimental error.
What factors do you think may cause the experimental value to be different from accepted value?
Instrumental error Calibration error Uncontrolled factors
How does experimental errors occur?
Experimental errors occur when the performer of experiment make a mistake. now Performer may be a human or it can be a machine or any apparatus and mistake may be of intentional, Conventional or mistake by mistake.

Experimental value minus the accepted value is called the?
The difference between the experimental value and the accepted value is known as the experimental error. It helps to quantify how closely the experimental result matches the true value.
