One main scale division of a vernier callipers is \(a\) \(cm\) and \(n ^{\text {th }}\) division of the vernier scale coincide with \(( n -1)^{\text {th }}\) division of the main scale. The least count of the callipers in \(mm\) is
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(\frac{10 a }{ n }\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\((n-1) a=n\left(a^{\prime}\right)\)
\(a^{\prime}=\frac{(n-1) a}{n}\)
\(\therefore L \cdot C \cdot=1 M S D-1 VSD\)
\(=\left(a-a^{\prime}\right) c m\)
\(=a-\frac{(n-1) a}{n}\)
\(=\frac{n a-n a+a}{n}=\frac{a}{n} c m\)
\(=\left(\frac{10 a}{n}\right) m m\)
