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.

A resistance R is to be measured using a meter bridge. A student chooses the standard resistance S to be 100 Ω. He finds the null point at l= 2.9 cm. He is told to attempt to improve accuracy. Which of the following is a useful way?
 

1. He should measure l1 more accurately
2. He should change S to 1000  Ω and repeat the experiment
3. He should change S to 3  Ω and repeat the experiment
4. He should give up hope of more accurate measurement with a meter bridge

Two cells of emf's approximately \(5\) V and \(10\) V are to be accurately compared using a potentiometer of length \(400\) cm.

1. The battery that runs the potentiometer should have a voltage of \(8\) V
2. The battery of the potentiometer can have a voltage of \(15\) V and \(R\) adjusted so that the potential drop across the wire slightly exceeds \(10\) V
3. The first portion of \(50\) cm of the wire itself should have a potential drop of \(10\) V
4. Potentiometer is usually used for comparing resistances and not voltages
