In a meter bridge, point D is a neutral point as shown in the figure.
a. | The meter bridge can have no other neutral point for this set of resistances. |
b. | When the jockey contacts a point on the meter wire left of D, current flows to B from the wire. |
c. | When the jockey contacts a point on the meter wire to the right of D, current flows from B to the wire through the galvanometer. |
d. | When R is increased, the neutral point shifts to left. |
Which of the above statements is correct?
1. (a, c)
2. (a, d)
3. (b, c)
4. (c, d)
A resistance \(R\) is to be measured using a meter bridge. A student chooses the standard resistance \(S\) to be \(100~\Omega .\) He finds the null point at \(l_1 = 2.9~\text{cm}.\) He is told to attempt to improve accuracy. Which of the following is a useful way?
1. | He should measure \(l_1\) more accurately |
2. | He should change \(S\) to \(1000~\Omega\) and repeat the experiment |
3. | He should change \(S\) to \(3~\Omega\) and repeat the experiment |
4. | He should give up hope of more accurate measurement with a meter bridge |
