alleryHow should the zero correction be applied to an observed reading?
ASubtracted from least count
BMultiplied by the reading
CAdded algebraically to it
DIgnored if it is small
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Added algebraically to it
Zero correction is always added algebraically to the observed reading to obtain the correct value.
