Figure 1.17 Voltmeter scale with mirror mounted under the needle
Answer: When taking a reading, ensure that your vision is placed directly above the needle so that the image of the needle coincides with the needle. This helps to reduce parallax error.

Answer: Step 1: Main scale reading: 2.5 cm Step 2: Vernier coincides with 3rd line. Vernier reading is 0.03 cm. Step 3: Reading of diameter = 2.5 + 0.03 cm = 2.53 cm

Answer: The zero reading Z = +0.02 mm The diameter reading D = 3.87 mm Hence the corrected diameter reading: Dcorrected = D Z = 3.87 (+0.02) = 3.85 mm Therefore the answer is B.
