Question

Accepted Answer

The vernier caliper least count is the smallest measurement that can be read on the caliper scale.

The least count of a vernier caliper is determined by the number of divisions on the main scale and the vernier scale.
It is calculated by dividing the smallest division on the main scale by the number of divisions on the vernier scale.
For example, if the smallest division on the main scale is 0.1 mm and the vernier scale has 10 divisions, the least count would be 0.01 mm.
The least count represents the accuracy and precision of the vernier caliper in measuring small distances.
