How to improve accuracyHow to improve accuracy
Take reading twice or more and the average Take reading twice or more and the average value are calculatedvalue are calculated
Avoid parallax errorAvoid parallax error Avoid zero errorAvoid zero error Use high accuracy measuring instrumentUse high accuracy measuring instrument
PARALLAX ERRORIt occurs because the position of the eye
is not perpendicular to the scale of the instrument.
How to avoid parallax error ?How to avoid parallax error ?
1)1) To avoid ,position of the eye must be To avoid ,position of the eye must be in line with the reading to be takenin line with the reading to be taken
2)2) To overcome parallax errors in To overcome parallax errors in instruments with a scale and pointer, instruments with a scale and pointer,
e.g. an ammeter it is often useful to e.g. an ammeter it is often useful to have a mirror behind the pointer. have a mirror behind the pointer.

Vernier Callipers reading = Main scale + Vernier scale = 2.7 + 0.06 = 2.76 cm
Find zero errorFind zero error
Zero error = + 0.02 cm
Read the measurement.Read the measurement.Find the correct readingFind the correct reading
Observed Reading = main scale + vernier scaleObserved Reading = main scale + vernier scale
= (0.4 + 0.09) cm= (0.4 + 0.09) cm
= 0.49 cm = 0.49 cm
Corrected reading = observed reading – zero errorCorrected reading = observed reading – zero error
= 0.49 – (+ 0.02) cm= 0.49 – (+ 0.02) cm
= 0.47 cm= 0.47 cm
