The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the correct order of switching on keys in a post office box, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Circuit**: - In a post office box setup, there are typically multiple keys (switches) that control different parts of the circuit. The main components usually include a cell (battery) and a galvanometer. 2. **Identify the First Key to Switch On**: - The first key that should be switched on is the **cell key**. This is essential because the cell provides the necessary voltage to complete the circuit. 3. **Switch On the Cell Key**: - By switching on the cell key, the circuit is completed, allowing current to flow. This is the first action we take. 4. **Identify the Second Key to Switch On**: - After the cell key is switched on, the next key to be activated is the **galvanometer key**. The galvanometer measures the current flowing through the circuit and shows a deflection. 5. **Switch On the Galvanometer Key**: - Once the cell key is on, we switch on the galvanometer key. This allows us to observe the current in the circuit through the galvanometer. 6. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the correct order of switching on the keys is: **Cell Key (A) first, followed by Galvanometer Key (B)**. ### Final Answer: The correct order is: **A (Cell Key) first, then B (Galvanometer Key)**. ---

Passage : Post office is useful to measure the value of unknown resistance correctly upto 2nd decimal place. It is based on Wheatstone bridge. Systematic diagrams of post office box are shown in the above figures. Each of the arms AB and BC contains three resistance of 10 Omega, 100 Omega and 1000 Omega . These arms are generally known as ratio arms. With the help of these resistance, we can introduce resistance P in arm AB and Resistance Q in arm BC. The resistance arm AD is complete resistance box containing resistance from 1 Omega "to" 5000 Omega . In this arm, we can introduced resistance R by taking out plugs of suitable values. The unknown resistance X is connected in fourth arm CD. These four arms actually form Wheatstone bridge shown in figure. For balanced conditions, no deflection is formed in galvanometer.
