I'm looking for the Planck's constant using the data I gathered for the potential difference and frequency. Then, I drew a best fit line and find its slope. My problem is, I have to find uncertainty but I don't have any idea if I will include it in the final answer for the Planck's constant? Also, how can I find the percentage error with the uncertainty?

can you please show an image and i can try to figure it out :)

This stuff always confuses me. Maybe the physics section will help more, since this is common in labs!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh yeah! lol thanks for telling me that this is a wrong section O_O

I can used derivatives to find the formula for the estimated error, but I can't think of how to find uncertainty at the moment.... Unless they're the same thing, I don't know! No problem! :)

oh okay, thanks !
