The Vernier caliper is an instrument that allows you measure lengths much more accurate than the metric ruler. The smallest increment in the vernier caliper you will be using is (1/50)mm = 0.02mm = 0.002cm. Thus, the uncertainty is ∆x = (1/2)0.002 cm = 0.001 cm. Vernier caliper least counts formula is calculated by dividing the smallest reading of the main scale with the total number of divisions of the vernier scale.LC of vernier caliper is the difference between one smallest reading of the main scale and one smallest reading of vernier scale which is 0.1 mm 0r 0.01 cm.
