JEE PYQ: Experimental Physics Question 28
Question 28 - 2019 (12 Jan 2019 Shift 2)
The least count of the main scale of a screw gauge is 1 mm. The minimum number of divisions on its circular scale required to measure $5\ \mu$m diameter of a wire is:
(1) 50
(2) 200
(3) 100
(4) 500
Show Answer
Answer: (2)
Solution
$5 \times 10^{-6} = \frac{10^{-3}}{N}$. $N = \frac{10^{-3}}{5 \times 10^{-6}} = 200$.
