Q51 / 75 · JEE Main 2020 (06 Sep Shift 1) · Physics

A screw gauge has 50 divisions on its circular scale. The circular scale is 4 units ahead of the pitch scale marking, prior to use. Upon one complete rotation of the circular scale, a displacement of 0.5mm is noticed on the pitch scale. The nature of zero error involved and the lest count of the screw gauge, are respectively:

  • A
    Negative, 2μm
  • Correct answer
    B
    Positive 10μm
  • C
    Positive 0.1mm
  • D
    Positive, 0.1μm

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
