Below diagram shows a vernier callipers with a zero error of +0.06 cm.

A vernier callipers has a zero error +0.06cm. Draw a neat labelled diagram to represent it. Measurements and Experimentation, Concise Physics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

The least count of the vernier callipers shown in the diagram is 0.01 cm and the 6th division of the vernier scale, coincides with a main scale division.

Therefore,

Zero Error=6×L.C.Zero Error=6×0.01cmZero Error=0.06cm\text{Zero Error} = 6 \times \text{L.C.} \\[0.5em] \text{Zero Error}= 6 \times 0.01 \text{cm} \\[0.5em] \Rightarrow \text{Zero Error}= 0.06 \text {cm} \\[0.5em]

Hence, we get the zero error = 0.06 cm.
