The main scale of a vernier calliper has \(n\) divisions/cm. \(n\) divisions of the vernier scale coincide with \((n-1)\) divisions of the main scale. The least count of the vernier calliper is:
1. \(\dfrac{1}{(n+1)(n-1)}\) cm
2. \(\dfrac{1}{n}\) cm
3. \(\dfrac{1}{n^{2}}\) cm
4. \(\dfrac{1}{(n)(n+1)}\) cm
Consider a dimensionally consistent equation given as :
Select the correct alternative.
Two resistors are connected in parallel. The equivalent resistance is :
If z=, and errors in the determination of A and B are respectively , then the fractional error in the calculation of z is :
In an experiment, the percentage errors that occurred in the measurement of physical quantities \(A,\) \(B,\) \(C,\) and \(D\) are \(1\%\), \(2\%\), \(3\%\), and \(4\%\) respectively. Then, the maximum percentage of error in the measurement of \(X,\) where \(X=\frac{A^2 B^{\frac{1}{2}}}{C^{\frac{1}{3}} D^3}\), will be:
