Zero error

उत्तर
Zero error: If the zero of the main scale does not coincide with zero of circular scale on bringing the screw end in contact with the stud, the screw gauge is said to have zero error.

When a screw gauge with a least count of 0.01 mm is used to measure the diameter of a wire, the reading on the sleeve is found to be 1 mm and the reading on the thimble is found to be 27 divisions.
(i) What is the diameter of the wire in cm?
(ii) If the zero error is +0.005 cm, what is the correct diameter?
Why is the metre length in terms of the wavelength of light considered more accurate?
What is the need for measuring length with vernier callipers?
State the correction if the negative error is 7 divisions when the least count is 0.01 cm.
A micrometre screw gauge has a negative zero error of 7 divisions. While measuring the diameter of a wire the reading on the main scale is 2 divisions and 79th circular scale division coincides with baseline.
If the number of divisions on the main scale is 10 to a centimetre and circular scale has 100 divisions, calculate
- pitch
- observed diameter
- least count
- corrected diameter.
What do you understand by the following term as applied to screw gauge?
Negative zero error
Consider the following case where the zero of vernier scale and the zero of the main scale are clearly seen. If L.C. of the vernier calipers is 0.01 cm, write the zero error and zero correction of the following.

The following diagrams (Fig. 5) show the use of a vernier caliper under three different situations. Study the diagrams carefully and note down the vernier readings in each case.

(a) Measuring the diameter of the rod

(b) Measuring Internal diameter of a cavity

(c) Measuring depth of a cavity
