NEET Physics Vernier Caliper MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about Vernier Calipers is correct?
The least count is determined by the difference between one main scale division and one vernier scale division.
Vernier Calipers can measure dimensions only when they are not in contact with the object.
Zero error in Vernier Calipers is not significant if the measurements are taken carefully.
It is unnecessary to consider significant figures while recording observations with Vernier Calipers.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The least count of a Vernier Caliper is indeed defined as the difference between one main scale division and one vernier scale division, making option A correct. The other options reflect misconceptions about the usage and significance of measurement accuracy and proper handling.
