Assertion : In meter bridge experiment, ...

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

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If assertion and reason both are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
(c ) The resistance of galvanometer is fixed. In metre bridge experiment, to protect is fixed. In metre bridge experiments, to protect the galvanometer from a high current, high resistance is connected to the galvanometer in order to prodect if from damage.
