The error of a vernier caliper refers to the discrepancy between the measured value and the true value, which can arise due to factors like calibration issues, parallax error, or user misinterpretation. It is typically expressed in terms of the least count, which is the smallest measurement increment the instrument can accurately read. Errors can be systematic or random, affecting the precision and accuracy of the measurements taken. Regular calibration and careful reading techniques can help minimize these errors.

How will you determine the sign of zero error in vernier callipers?

To determine the sign of zero error in vernier calipers, first close the jaws completely and check the reading on the main scale at the zero mark of the vernier scale. If the zero mark of the vernier scale is to the left of the main scale reading, it indicates a negative zero error; conversely, if it is to the right, it indicates a positive zero error. The magnitude of the error can be calculated as the difference between the two readings. Finally, this error should be accounted for in measurements taken with the calipers.
