Screw Gauge physics experiment

Introduction

A screw pitch gauge is a precision instrument. It is used for measuring diameter of circular objects mostly wires, with an accuracy of 0.001cm. It consists of a hollow cylinder mounted on a U frame. The hollow cylinder leads to a ratchet which is meant for fine adjustment. The U frame consists of a flat end known as stud and a screw on the other side. This screw can be moved inside the nut by fitted in the U frame by rotating the hollow cylinder called the thimble. This is called the main scale. The hollow cylinder or the thimble is graduated into 50 or 100 equal parts. This is called the circular scale.

How to solve electric force and field problems

This post is all about how you can easily solve electric force and electric field problems. At a glance problems of physics can seem to be scary and overwhelming for some students but do not worry all you need to do is your willingness to solve problem. So first of all you need to read your problem carefully and then start using following protocol to solve your problems. The procedure I am going to write is for calculating electric forces but you can use the same procedure to calculate an electric field by simply replacing the charge of interest, q, with a convenient test charge and dividing by the test charge at the end. So, to calculate the force,
