If the screw on the screw-gauge is given six rotations, it moves by 3 mm on the main scale. If there are 50 divisions on the circular scale the least count of the screw gauge is: (in cm)   
Option: 1 0.001
Option: 2 0.01
Option: 3 0.02
Option: 4 0.001
 

 

 

 

 

 

Pitch =\frac{3}{6} = 0.5mm

L.C = \frac{0.5mm}{50} = \frac{1}{100}mm = 0.01mm = 0.001cm

Hence the option correct option is (1).

In a Screw Gauge, fifth division of the circular scale coincides with the reference line when the ratchet is closed.There are 50 divisions on the circular scale,and the main scale moves by 0.5 mm on a complete rotation. For a particular observation the reading on the main scale is 5 mm and the 20th division of the circular scale coincides with reference line. Calculate the true reading.
Option: 1 5\cdot 20\, mm
Option: 2 5\cdot 00\, mm
Option: 3 5\cdot 15\, mm
Option: 4 5\cdot 25\, mm

\text{No of CSD} = 50
pitch= 0\cdot 5\, mm
MSR= 5\, mm
CSD= 20\, division
CSR= LC\times CSD
            = \left ( \frac{pitch}{\text{No of CSD}} \right )\times CSD
           = \frac{0\cdot 5\times 10^{-3}}{50}\times\, 20
           = 2\times 10^{-4}\, m
CSR=0\cdot 2\, mm
Zero\,\: error= \left ( LC \right )\times 5
                         = 10^{-5}\times5= 0\cdot 05\, mm
True\, reading= MSR+CSR+\left ( Zero\: conection \right )
                             = 5+0\cdot 2+\left ( -0\cdot 05 \right )
\rightarrow True\: reading= 5\cdot 15\, mm
The correct option is (3)

For full scale deflection of total 50 divisions, 50 \mathrm{mV} voltage is required in galvanometer. The resistance of galvanometer if its current sensitivity is 2 \mathrm{div} / \mathrm{mA} will be :
 
Option: 1 1\Omega
Option: 2 2 \Omega
Option: 3 5 \Omega
Option: 4 4 \Omega

\frac{d\theta}{di}= \frac{2div}{mA}\\

For 50 divisions,the corresponding current will be

i_{g}= 25mA\\

V= 50mV= i_{g}\times R\\

R= 2\Omega

The diameter of a spherical bob is measured using a vernier callipers. 9 divisions of the main scale, in the vernier callipers, are equal to 10 divisions of vernier scale. One main scale division is 1 \mathrm{~mm}. The main scale reading is 10 \mathrm{~mm}$ and $8^{\text {th }} division of vernier scale was found to coincide exactly with one of the main scale division. If the given vemier callipers has positive zero error of 0.04 \mathrm{~cm}, then the radius of the bob is _________\times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~cm}.
 

9MSD=10VSD\\

1MSD=1mm\\

LC=1MSD-1VSD=0.1MSD\\

MSR=10mm\\

VCD\: or\: VSD=8\\

Zero \ \ error=+0.04cm\\

Reading(Diameter)=MSR+VSR+Zero \ \ correction\\

                                         =10mm+LC\times VCD+\left ( -Zero\: error \right )\\

                                         =10mm+\left ( 0.1 \right )\times8+\left ( -0.4mm \right )\\

Diameter=10.4mm

Radius=5.2mm=52\times10^{-2}cm

Assertion A : If in five complete rotations of the circular scale, the distance travelled on main scale of the screw gauge is 5 mm and there are 50 total divisions on circular scale, then least count is 0.001 cm. Reason R : Least Count = \frac{Pitch }{Total\: \: divisions\: \: on\: \: circular\: \: scale} In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
Option: 1 A is not correct but R is correct.
Option: 2 Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.
Option: 3 A is correct but R is not correct.
Option: 4 Both A and R are correct and R is NOT the correct explanation of A.

Distance travelled on the main scale in one rotation is equal to pitch.

$$ \begin{aligned} \therefore 5 \mathrm{~mm} &=5 \text { (pitch) } \\ \text { pitch } &=1 \mathrm{~mm} \rightarrow(1) \end{aligned}

\text{No. of CSD}=50\; \text{division}

\text{L.C}= \frac{\text{pitch}}{\text{No.of CSD}}

          \begin{aligned} =\frac{1 \mathrm{~mm}}{50} &=0.02 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m} \\ &=0.002 \mathrm{~cm} \end{aligned}

The correct option is (1)

Student A and Student B used two screw gauges of equal pitch and 100 equal circular divisions to measure the radius of a given wire. The actual value of the radius of the wire is 0.322 \mathrm{~cm}. The absolute value of the difference between the final circular scale readings observed by the students \mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{B} is__________.
[Figure shows position of reference ' O ' when jaws of screw gauge are closed]
Given pitch =0.1 \mathrm{~cm}.
 

pitch= 0\cdot 1\, cm
No.of circular divisions = 100
Least\, count = \frac{pitch}{No.of \, circular \, division}
                         = 10^{-3}\, cm
                         = 0\cdot 001 cm
Actual value of the radius of the wire = 0\cdot 322 cm
Let the main scale reading be X
\left ( Reading \right )_{A}= MSR+CSR
                         = X+\left ( CSD \right )\times LC
                        = X+\left ( 5 \right )\times 0\cdot 001
R_{A}=X+0\cdot 005
(i.e 5 divisions ahead of zero mark)
\left ( Reading \right )_{B}= R_{B}= MSR+CSR
                         = \left ( X-1 \right )+\left ( CSD \right )\times \left ( LC \right )
                         = \left ( X-1 \right )+\left ( 92 \right )\times 0\cdot 001
                         =X-0\cdot 008
(i.e 8 CSD behind zero mark )  
\Delta R= R_{A}-R_{B}= 0\cdot 013
Reading corresponds to 13 circular scale division
The answer is 13

The varnier scale used for measurement  has a positive zero error of 2.0 mm. If while taking a measurement it was noted that '0' on the vernier scale lies between 8.5 cm and 8.6 cm, vernier coincidence is 6, then the correct value of measurement is _______ cm. (least count = 0.01 cm)  
Option: 1 8.56 cm
 
Option: 2 8.54 cm
Option: 3 8.58 cm  
Option: 4 8.36 cm

Positive zero error =0.2 mm

Main scale reading =8.5 cm

Vernier scale reading =6 \times 0.01=0.06 \mathrm{~cm}

Final reading =8.5+0.06-0.02=8.54 cm

Which of the following will NOT be observed when a multimeter (operating in resistance measuring mode ) probes connected across a component, are just reversed ?
Option: 1 Multimeter shows an equal deflection in both case i,e. before and after reversing the probes if the chosen component is resistor.
Option: 2 Multimeter shows NO deflection in both case i,e. before and after reversing the probes if the chosen component is capacitor.
Option: 3 Multimeter shows a deflection, accompanied by a splash of light out of connected component in one direction and NO deflection on reversing the probes if the chosen component is LED.
Option: 4 Multimeter shows NO deflection in both case i,e. before and after reversing the probes if the chosen component is metal wire.

1.No matter, how we connect the resistance across multimeter It shows the same deflection. 

2.Multimeter shows deflection when it connects with a capacitor.

So option 2 is the answer.

3.If we assume that LED has negligible resistance then the multimeter shows no deflection for the forward bias but when it connects in the reverse direction, it break down occurs so splash of light out.  

4.The resistance of the metal wire may be taken zero, so no deflection in the multimeter.

Using a screw ganged pitch 0.1\; cm and 50 divisions of its circular scale, the thickness of an object is measured. It should correctly be recorded as  :
 
Option: 1 2.124
Option: 2 2.21
Option: 3 2.125  
Option: 4 2.127

Pitch of the circular scale \mathrm{P}=0.1 \mathrm{cm}

Number of divisions on a circular scale N=50

So least count of screw gauge L C=\frac{P}{N}=\frac{0.1}{50} \mathrm{cm}=0.002 \mathrm{cm}

So any measurement will be integral  Multiple of LC
 From the option, we can say that The answer will be 2.124 cm

One main scale division of a vernier callipers is 'a' cm and nth division of the vernier scale coincide with (n-1)^{th} division of the main scale. The least count of the callipers in mm is :
 
Option: 1 \frac{10 a}{n}
Option: 2 \left ( \frac{n-1}{10n} \right )a
Option: 3 \frac{10\; na}{(n-1)}  
Option: 4 \frac{10 a}{(n-1)}

 As nth division of the vernier scale coincide with (n-1)^{th} division of the main scale

So

\begin{array}{l} (\mathrm{n}-1) \mathrm{a}=\mathrm{n}\left(\mathrm{a}^{\prime}\right) \\ \\ \Rightarrow \mathrm{a}^{\prime}=\frac{(\mathrm{n}-1) \mathrm{a}}{\mathrm{n}} \end{array}

Where \mathrm{a}^{\prime} is the One main scale division of vernier calipers.

S0

\begin{aligned} \therefore \mathrm{L.C} &=1 \mathrm{MSD}-1 \mathrm{VSD} \\ &=\left(\mathrm{a}-\mathrm{a}^{\prime}\right) \mathrm{cm} \\ &=\mathrm{a}-\frac{(\mathrm{n}-1) \mathrm{a}}{\mathrm{n}} \\ &=\frac{\mathrm{na}-\mathrm{na}+\mathrm{a}}{\mathrm{n}}=\frac{\mathrm{a}}{\mathrm{n}} \mathrm{cm} \end{aligned}

So

LC=\frac{10a}{n}\ mm
