Least count $= \frac{{\text{Pitch}}}{{\text{No.of divisions on circular scale}}}$
$5 \times {10^{ - 6}} = \frac{{{{10}^{ - 3}}}}{N}$
$N = 200$

    In an experiment to find out the diameter of wire using screw gauge, the following observation were noted.

    $(a)$ Screw moves $0.5\,mm$ on main scale in one complete rotation

    $(b)$ Total divisions on circular scale $=50$

    $(c)$ Main scale reading is $2.5\,mm$

    $(d)$ $45^{\text {th }}$ division of circular scale is in the pitch line

    $(e)$ Instrument has $0.03 \;mm$ negative error

    Then the diameter of wire is $...........\,mm$
