Assertion : In metre bridge experiment, ...

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

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

B

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

C

If the assertion and reason are false

D

If both the assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

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