Answer:

0.2 mm

Explanation:

Assuming the Caliper has 1 mm marks on the main scale. Again, we assume that the 20 division coincides with the 16 main scale division, then we can find the least count by saying

For the given Vernier calipers,

Let one main scale division be = 1 mm.

Since there are 20 Vernier scale divisions that happen to be equal to 16 Main Scale Divisions, we can calculate that

1 Vernier Scale Division = 16/20 Main Scale Division

1 Vernier Scale Division = 0.8 mm.

The least count is finally calculated by saying that

Least Count = 1 Main Scale Division - 1 Vernier Scale Division

Least Count = 1 - 0.8

Least Count = 0.2 mm

Therefore, from the assumptions made above, the least count is 0.2 mm

Which one of the following phrases best describes the electric potential of a charged particle?

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

D.The potential energy per unit charge

Explanation:

Electric potential of a charged particle:

It is scalar quantity because it has magnitude but it does not have direction.

It is the amount of work done required to move a unit positive charge from reference point to specific point in the electric field without producing any acceleration.

Mathematical representation:

$V=\frac{W}{Q_0}$

Where W= Work done

$Q_0$ = Unit positive charge

Other formula to calculate electric field:

$V=\frac{KQ}{r}$

Where K= $\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0}$

It can be defined as potential energy per unit charge.

Hence, option D is true.

Whitepunk [10]

Explanation:

a. " for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction".

b. The electric fan does not stop moving just after the switch turns off because of rational inertia force.

c. The force applied to first vehicle is 120N.

d. In my view it doesn't support the law of conservation of momentum. Momentum of 1 and 2 object before the collision is equal to the total momentum of two object after collision.
