Assertion : In metre bridge experiment, a high resistance is always connected in series with a galvanometer.
Reason : As resistance increases, current through the circuit increases,

A

Statement `1` is true, Statement `2`is True , Statement `2` is correct explanation for Statement `1`.

B

Statement `1` is True, Statement `2` is True, Statement `2` is NOT a correct explantion for Statement `1`.

C

Statement `1` is True, Statement `2` is False.

D

Statement `1` is False, Satement `2` is True.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The resistance of a galvanometer is fixed. In meter bridge experiments, to product the galvanometer from a high current, high resistance is connected to the galvanometer to protect it from any damage.
