The scale doesn't start at zero, so you need to compromise or you get a systematic error.
LC= Value of one main scale division Total number of divisions on vernier
Zero error is defined as the condition where a measuring instrument registers a reading when there should not be any reading. In case of Vernier calipers it occurs when a zero on main scale does not coincide with a zero on Vernier scale. Source: calculatored and written by Shaun Murphy
Vernier calipers are a type of measuring instrument used to measure the dimensions of an object with high accuracy. They consist of a main scale and a sliding vernier scale that allows for precise measurements by reading the aligned markings on both scales. Vernier calipers are commonly used in fields such as engineering, manufacturing, and scientific research.
because its senstivty is 0.1 mm.......got it or not????
Least count is referred to as the smallest unit that can be measured by a measuring instrument. It is found by dividing the smallest division on the main scale by the total number of divisions on Vernier calipers.
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
Because the secondary scale, which gave the calipers it accuracy, was designed by the French mathematician Pierre Vernier.
vernier calliper scale. give us reading upto two places right side from decimal

The value of each main scale divisions is half a degree(30') . The number of vernier scale divisions is 30. 29 main scale divisions are divided into 30 vernier scale divisions (30 VSD = 29 MSD ) Therefore value of 1 VSD = 29/30 MSD. Least Count (L.C.) = 1MSD - 1VSD = 1MSD - 29/30 MSD = 1/30 MSD = 1/30 x 30' (L.C.) = 1' (1 minute)
We need two readings. One is Main scale reading and the other is vernier scale reading. Main scale reading will be read on the main scale. We need an indicator to read it. Right? The marking ie zero of the vernier is that indicator. So the reading on the main scale which has been just crossed by zero of the vernier is taken as Main scale reading. Now to get VSR, we need vernier scale coincidence. How do we get this? Any one of the divisions of the vernier will be found coincided with some divisions marked on the main scale. We don't worry about that main scale division but we concentrate only on the vernier scale division. This is VSC This VSC is to be multiplied by least count. So VSC x LC gives the VSR Now MSR + VSR gives the accurate reading.
The zero error in the vernier calipers and micrometer screw gauge when the O mark on the main scale is not in line with the pointer.
It occurs when the '0' marking of the main scale is not in line with the '0' marking of the vernier scale when the jaws are fully closed.

It is 5 mins. Formula : Smallest Division on Main Scale / Number of divisions on Vernier Scale = 1 degree / 12 = 60 mins / 12 = 5 mins.
