In the diagram shown, the reading of voltmeter is 20 V and that of ammeter is 4 A. The value of R should be (consider given ammeter and voltmeter are not ideal) :
1. Equal to 5 Ω
2. Greater from 5 Ω
3. Less than 5 Ω
4. Greater or less than 5 Ω depends on the material of R
Which is a wrong statement :
1. The Wheatstone bridge is most sensitive when all the four resistances are of the same order
2. In a balanced Wheatstone bridge, interchanging the positions of galvanometer and cell affects the balance of the bridge
3. Kirchhoff's first law (for currents meeting at a junction in an electric circuit) expresses the conservation of charge
4. The rheostat can be used as a potential divider
\(AB\) is a wire of uniform resistance. The galvanometer \(G\) shows no current when the length \(AC= 20~\text{cm}\) and \(CB = 80~\text{cm}\). The resistance \(R\) is equal to:
1. \(2~\Omega\)
2. \(8~\Omega\)
3. \(20~\Omega\)
4. \(40~\Omega\)
The circuit shown here is used to compare the e.m.f. of two cells and . The null point is at C when the galvanometer is connected to E1. When the galvanometer is connected to E2, the null point will be
1. To the left of C
2. To the right of C
3. At C itself
4. Nowhere on AB
In the Wheatstone's bridge (shown in the figure below) \(X=Y\) and \(A>B\). The direction of the current between \(a\) and \(b\) will be:
1. | from \(a\) to \(b\). |
2. | from \(b\) to \(a\). |
3. | from \(b\) to \(a\) through \(c\). |
4. | from \(a\) to \(b\) through \(c\). |
A resistance of 4 Ω and a wire of length 5 metres and resistance 5 Ω are joined in series and connected to a cell of e.m.f. 10 V and internal resistance 1 Ω. A parallel combination of two identical cells is balanced across 300 cm of the wire. The e.m.f. E of each cell is:
1. 1.5 V
2. 3.0 V
3. 0.67 V
4. 1.33 V
Constantan wire is used in making standard resistances because of its :
1. Specific resistance is low
2. Density is high
3. Temperature coefficient of resistance is negligible
4. Melting point is high
A potentiometer consists of a wire of length 4 m and resistance 10 Ω. It is connected to a cell of e.m.f. 2 V. The potential difference per unit length of the wire will be :
1. 0.5 V/m
2. 2 V/m
3. 5 V/m
4. 10 V/m
In the circuit shown , the reading of the galvanometer is same with switch S open or closed. Then
1.
2.
3.
4.
In the following Wheatstone bridge . If key K is closed, then the galvanometer will show deflection :
1. In left side
2. In right side
3. No deflection
4. none of the above
