LC= Value of one main scale division Total number of divisions on vernier
least count for micrometer is 0.01mm0.01 mm
The least count of the micrometer screw can be calculated using the formula given below: Least count = 0.01 mm
digital micrometer least count calculation
micro meter least count in British system
Least count of voltmeter is the value of one division on the scale. Formula is: Least count = Range/No. of divisions For example, if a voltmeter can measure from 0 to 40 V, and it has 100 divisions in total on the scale, then its least count is 40/100 = 0.4V
0.4 A
to calculate the least count of travelling microscope first see the no. of division on the main scale say between 12 and 13 there are 20 divisions and the no.of division on vernier scale is 50 then 1 msd = 20 division 1 division = 1/20 msd=0.05 1vsd = 50 division least count = msd/vsd =0.05/50=0.001 so least count is 0.001 cm
least count of a micrometer= pitch/no of division on the circular scale
The least count in your case is just the smallest division of length on the rule.
Least count = 1 Main scale division - 1 vernier scale division Why? The story is very interesting. That has been already explianed by me while answering such a question. Please....
LC FOR VERNIER CALIPER-0.1mm LC FOR MICROMETER -0.01 mm L.C- NO OF SMALLEST DIVISION ON MAIN SCALE ------------------------------------------------------- TOTAL NO OF DIVISION ON VERNIER SCALE
The minimum reading that can be taken in a thermometer on a degree c scale is the least count of itfor example,the least count of a clinical thermometer is 1/5 or 0.2degree c because there are 5 subdivisions of 1 division

In case for micrometer, principle of pitch is used. Least count could be even micro meter But in vernier caliper, difference of main scale division and vernier scale division is the principle Least count could be 0.02 mm
the least count of screw gauge is 0.01mm OR 0.001cms..
Least count refers to the highest level of accuracy that can be achieved in measurement. The general formula is: LC = (Value of 1 Main Scale Division) / (Total number of Vernier scale divisions).
