The least count of Vernier Caliper is

Key Points

• The least count of a Vernier Caliper is 0.01 cm.
• The least count is the smallest measurement that can be accurately read using the Vernier Caliper.
• It is determined by the difference in the values between one main scale division and one Vernier scale division.
• Vernier Calipers are precision instruments used to measure dimensions to a high degree of accuracy.

Additional Information

• Vernier Calipers consist of a main scale and a sliding Vernier scale which allows readings to be made to a fraction of a division on the main scale.
• The least count of a Vernier Caliper can be calculated using the formula: Least Count = (Smallest Division on Main Scale) / (Number of Divisions on Vernier Scale).
• Typically, the main scale of a Vernier Caliper is graduated in centimeters and millimeters, and the Vernier scale provides additional precision.
• The Vernier Caliper is commonly used in scientific laboratories, manufacturing, and engineering fields for precise measurements.
