Assertion: We prefer a potentiometer with a longer bridge wire.
Reason : By doing this, the sensitivity of the bridge is increased because for longer wire potential drop per unit length will be small.

Assertion is True, Reason is True, Reason is a correct explanation for Assertion

B

Assertion is True, Reason is True, Reason is not a correct explanation for Assertion

C

Assertion is True, Reason is False

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.

A potentiometer consists of a wire of length 4 m and resistance 10 Omega . If is connected of cell of emf 2V . The potential difference per unit length of the wire will be

In an experiment with a potentiometer V_B=10 V , R is adjusted to be 50 Omega as shown in figure. A student wanting to measure voltage E_1 of a battery (approx. 8 V) finds no null point possible. He then diminishes R to 10 Omega and is able to locate the null point on the last (4th) segment of potentiometer.Find the resistance of the potentiometer wire and potential drop per unit length across the wire in the second case.

A potentiometer wire has a length of 1.5 m and resistance of 10 Omega . It is connected in series with the cell of emf 4 Volt and internal resistance 5 Omega . Calculate thepotential drop per centimeter of the wire.

Two resistances X Omega and Y Omega are connected in the left and right gap of a metre bridge. A null point was found on the bridge wire such that the ratio of lengths of two segments of wire is 2:3 . The distance of the null point was measured from the left end of the wire. When the valueof X is increased by 20 Omega , the position of the null point divides the wire into segments of lengths in the ratio 4:1 .Determine X and Y.
