The pitch of a screw gauge is and there are divisions on its circular scale. The instrument reads divisions when nothing is put in between its jaws. In measuring the diameter of a wire, there are divisions on the main scale and divisions coincide with the reference line. Then the diameter of the wire is:


Important Questions on Experimental Physics
Consider the shown in the diagram, let the resistance have temperature coefficient and the resistance from the have the temperature coefficient Let the reading of the meter scale be from the . If the temperature of the two resistance increase by small temperature then what is the shift in the position of the null point? Neglect all the other changes in the bridge due to temperature rise.

Statement 2 : In post-office box experiment, if galvanometer key is pressed first and then we press battery key, then galvanometer may get damage.

A metre bridge is set up as shown, to determine an unknown resistance using a standard resistor. The galvanometer shows null point when the tapping key is at mark. The end-corrections are and respectively for the ends and . The determined value of is



of the main scale of vernier calipers is divided into . The vernier scale had , so that least count of the calipers is . The value of is
