In the meter bridge shown, the resistance X has a negative temperature coefficient of resistance. Neglecting the variation in other resistors, when current is passed for some time in the circuit, the balance point should shift towards:

1. A

2. B

3. First A then B

4. It will remain at C

Two cells of e.m.f. E₁ and E₂ are joined in series and the balancing length of the potentiometer wire is 625 cm. If the terminals of E₁ are reversed, the balancing length obtained is 125 cm. Given E₂>E₁, the ratio E₁:E₂ will be:

1. 2 : 3

2. 5 : 1

3. 3 : 2

4. 1 : 5

A 10 m long potentiometer wire is connected to a battery having a steady voltage. A Leclanche cell is balanced at 4 m length of the wire. If the length is kept the same, but its cross-section is doubled, the null point will be obtained at:

1. 8 m

2. 4 m

3. 2 m

4. None of these

Of the two bulbs in a household circuit, one glows brighter than the other. Which of the two bulbs has a large resistance?
