Physics Experimental Skills JEE Main 2022 - (Experimental Physics) MCQ (Single Correct)

In an experiment to find out the diameter of wire using screw gauge, the following observation were

A
Screw moves 0.5 mm on main scale in one complete rotation 2.92 mm
B
Total divisions on circular scale = 50 2.54 mm
C
Main scale reading is 2.5 mm 2.98 mm
D
45 th division of circular scale is in the pitch line (E) Instrument has 0.03 mm negative error Then the diameter of wire is : 3.45 mm

Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
C

MSR = 25 mm

CSR =45x mm = 0 45

Diameter reading = MSR + CSR - zero error

= 2.5 + 0.45 - (-0.03)

= 2.98 mm
