In a specially designed vernier calipers, divisions of the vernier scale coincide exactly with divisions of the main scale. If each main scale division measures , what is the least count of this instrument?
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
Given .
.
Since , we get .
This is a retrograde vernier where the vernier division is larger than the main scale division. The least count is the magnitude of the difference between one vernier scale division and one main scale division.
Least count
Least count .
