1)
What is vernier constant?
least count
least constant
zero correction
angular vernier
2)
What is the function of sliding strip or rod?
to measure the diameter of certain objects
to measure the radius of certain objects
to measure the depth of certain objects
to measure the width of certain objects
3)
Why is a slide callipers called a 'Vernier Callipers'?
It was first designed by a French mathematician, Pierre Vernier.
Its idea was first conceived at Vernier in southern Germany.
It is the Latin name for 'slide callipers'
None of the above
4)
Which of the following measurements cannot be made by a vernier calliper?
Measuring the internal diameter of a cylindrical object or the depth of a vessel.
Measuring the height of a tower.
Measuring the outer diameter of a spherical or cylindrical object.
Measuring the length of an iron nail.
5)
Which of the following is a true statement?
Zero correction is algebraically added to the observed reading
Zero error is a algebraically subtracted from the observed reading.
Negative of zero error is zero correction.
All of the above.
6)
Which of the following is incorrect with regard to zero error?
It is the error in the vernier callipers.
It occurs if the zeros of main scale and vernier scale do not coincide.
It is positive when vernier zero is to the left of main scale and negative if it is to the right.
It arises due to wear and tear of the instrument.
7)
Least count: metre scale - 1mm, vernier callipers - 0.1mm, screw guage and spherometer - 0.01mm. Which has the least accuracy?
Metre scale
Spherometer
Vernier callipers
Screw guage
8)
Vernier Constant is given by:
V.C.= 1 M.S.D.-1 V.S.D
V.C.= 1 M.S.D./1 V.S.D
V.C.= 1 V.S.D.-1 V.S.D
V.C.= 1 M.S.D.+1 V.S.D
9)
Principle of vernier callipers:
N vernier scale division = (N/2) main scale divisions.
N main scale division = (N-1) vernier scale divisions.
N vernier scale division = (N-1) main scale divisions.
N main scale division = N vernier scale divisions.
10)
A student used a vernier caliper to measure the length of his pencil.He found that the main scale showed a reading of 8.3 and vernier scale coincides with 5th position to the main scale.What was the correct measurement of the length of the pencil?
8.5
8.35
8.8
8.3
11)

6.37
6.34
6.44
6.47
12)
During the measurement of the inner diameter of a measuring jar, Arun got the reading as follows . What is the reading shown?
3.03 cm
3.54 cm
3.5 cm
3.34 cm
