Ques. 1JEE Main 2026, 5 April (Morning Shift)

In a Vernier calipers, when both jaws touch each other, zero of the Vernier scale is shifted to the right of zero of the main scale and 7th Vernier division coincides with a main scale reading. If the value of 1 main scale division is 1 mm and there are 10 Vernier scale divisions, then the Vernier caliper has

  1. 0.07 cm negative zero error
  2. 0.7 cm negative zero error
  3. 0.07 cm positive zero error
  4. 0.7 cm positive zero error

Answer

(3) 0.07 cm positive zero error

Solution

Least count, LC= 1 MSDnumber of VSD= 1 mm10=0.1 mm=0.01 cm

∵ With the jaws closed, the Vernier zero lies to the right of the main-scale zero, the instrument reads more than zero ⇒ the zero error is positive.

Zero error =+(coinciding VSD) =+7 0.01 cm

∴ Zero error =+0.07 cm (positive), to be subtracted from every reading.

Answer: (3)
