NEET Physics Screw Gauge MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-fact-Medium-Class 12

What is the formula to calculate the thickness of a sheet using a screw gauge?

A

d = M + n × L.C.

B

d = M - n × L.C.

C

d = M × n + L.C.

D

d = M / n + L.C.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The thickness of a sheet measured by a screw gauge is calculated using the formula d = M + n × L.C., where M is the linear scale reading, n is the circular scale reading, and L.C. is the least count.
