True or false: a more expensive instrument is necessarily more accurate.

  • A.True, since price and accuracy are directly related in instruments
  • B.True, provided the instrument is of the digital rather than analogue kind
  • C.False, since price has no bearing on any property of an instrument
  • D.False, since accuracy depends on calibration and on suitability for the task

Answer: D

Correct answer: False, since accuracy depends on calibration and on suitability for the task

Price correlates loosely with quality but guarantees nothing: an expensive instrument out of calibration, or applied where it loads the circuit, gives a worse result than a cheap one used properly. What determines accuracy is a valid calibration, an appropriate range, and a measurement method that does not disturb what it measures.
