To answer the question of whether it is necessary to keep the length of the slide-bridge wire at 1 meter, we can break down the reasoning into a few steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Slide-Bridge Method**: The slide-bridge method is used to measure an unknown resistance (R) by balancing it against known resistances. The setup typically involves a wire of uniform resistance. 2. **Length of the Wire**: The length of the slide-bridge wire does not have to be exactly 1 meter. While 1 meter is a common choice for convenience, the actual length can vary. ...

Why is it necessary to obtain the balance point in the middle of bridge wire ? Explain.

Why should the area of cross-section of the meter-bridge wire be uniform ? Explian

Assertion: A slide wire bridge is also called a metrebridge. Reason: It is because, the length of wire in a slide wire bridge is one metre.

Answer the following : (a) Why are the connections between the resistors in a meter bridge made of thick copper strips? (b) Why is it generally preferred to obtain the balance point in the middle of the meter bridge wire? ( c) Which material is used for the meter bridge wire and why?

In a meter bridge, the length of the wire is 100 cm. At what position will the balance point be obtained if the two resistances are in the ratio 1:3?

A sonometer wire vibrating in its fundamental mode, is in unison with a tuning fork when the length of the wire between the bridges is 25 cm. By keeping the same tension , the length between the bridges is increased to 75 cm. The tuning fork can still be in resonance with the vibrating wire , provided the wire vibrates with
