In physics we did a lab experiment that involved finding the Heat capacity. the teacher told us that we wont get an exact answer. He wanted us to state the Source of Error.

what is a source of Error?
He said that it isn't a "human stupidity error" eg. Spilling some hot water, or miscalculating

Please I need Help
