sir pls tell me how to find the ZERO ERROR and LEAST COUNT along with two or three solved questions relating to zero error and least count

Expert Answer
Zero Error
  
  It is a defect in a measuring device (Vernier Callipers & Screw Gauge).
  When jaws of a Vernier Callipers or Screw Gauge are closed, zero of main scale must coincides with the   zero of vernier scale or circular scale in case of screw gauge.
  If they do not coincide then it is said that a zero error is present in the instrument.
 
Least Count
  
  Minimum measurement that can be made by a measuring device is known as " LEAST COUNT'.
  Least count (vernier callipers) = minimum measurement on main scale / total number of divisions on                                                                                                              vernier scale
.
  Least count (screw gauge) = minimum measurement on main scale / total number of divisions on                                                                                                    circular scale

Two wires of copper have the same length but cross-sectional area in the ratio of 3:1. The resistance of the thicker wire is 12 ohm. (a) Calculate the resistance of the thinner wire. (b) Find the equivalent resistance of both these wires, when they are connected (1) in series (ii) parallel (c) If both the wires are connected in parallel to a battery of 24 volt, then find out the ratio of heat produced in the thicker wire to the thinner wire identify the wire if both of them are connected to the same source for the same time duration.
