The diameter of a copper wire is thought to be approximately 0.3mm. Which instrument should be used to obtain a more accurate measurement of the diameter of the wire? A measuring tape B metre rule C micrometer D ruler 2

C

Explanation:

The correct answer should be the micrometer.

The micrometer is an instrument that is capable of measuring the component of an object to very high precision. It is used to obtain accurate measurements in engineering.

In the case of the copper wire, the diameter of 0.3 mm was an approximation and a more accurate measure of the diameter would be obtained by using the micrometer.

The correct option is C.
