Solution

The correct option is A 4
$50 uniform division in full scale reading of 200^{o} C$

$1 uniform division corresponds to \frac{200}{50} = 4^{o} C$

Q. A moving coil ammeter has a uniform scale with 50 divisions and gives a full scale reading of 10 A. The instrument can read up to (1/5)th of a scale division with a fair degree of certainity. The resolution of the instrument (in mA) is _____.

Consider the following data: 10 main scale division = 1cm, $10^{t h}$ vernier division match with $9^{t h}$ Main scale division. While measuring the zero error of the vernier we see that zero of vernier scale is to the right of the zero marking of the main scale with $6^{t h}$ vernier division coinciding with main scale divisions. The actual reading for length measurement is 4.3 cm with 2nd vernier division coinciding with main scale graduation. Estimate the length.
