How do you account for negative zero error, for calculating the correct diameter of wires?

उत्तर
If the zero lines marked on a circular scale, is above the reference line of the main scale, then there is a negative error and the correction is positive.
In the figure, there is 96th division on the circular scale which coincides with the reference line.
∴ Correction = + [n − coinciding division of C.S. × L.C.]
where n is the total number of circular scale divisions.
∴ Correction = + [100 – 96] × 0.001 cm
= 0.004 cm
If observed diameter is 0.557 cm, then :
Corrected diameter
= Observed diameter + Correction
= 0. 557 cm + 0.004 cm
= 0.561 cm
