A simple pendulum is known to have a period, T = 1.55 s. Student A uses their smartphone stopwatch app to measure the total time for 5 oscillations and divides that by 5 to report an average period of T = 1.25 s. Student B uses the same technique but goes old school and whips out his grandpa’s analog stopwatch to come up with an average of T = 1.5 s. What is the most probable source of error that explains the different results?

answer: option c. i.e. electric current flowing “downhill” from the negative electrode to the positive electrode in a battery

explanation:

the water analogy to the circuits define the pipes (water flows) to the electric current. now, we know that the electric current flows from the positive terminal to the circuit (as shown in the diagram attached).

hence, option c is the correct answer.
