Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If a ruler has a least count of 0.1 cm, what is the maximum error in measurement? (2023)
  • Step 1: Understand what 'least count' means. It is the smallest value that can be measured by the ruler.
  • Step 2: Identify the least count given in the question, which is 0.1 cm.
  • Step 3: Know that the maximum error in measurement is usually equal to the least count of the measuring instrument.
  • Step 4: Conclude that the maximum error in measurement is therefore 0.1 cm.
  • Least Count – The smallest division or increment that can be measured accurately with a measuring instrument.
  • Maximum Error – The maximum possible deviation from the true value that can occur due to the limitations of the measuring instrument.
