In meter bridge experiment AB is wire of 1m of uniform cross section area. If resistivity of AB wire is `rho`, null point is obtained at a point '`l_(1)`' distance from A. If resistivity is `2rho`, null point will be '`l_(2)`' from A and if left half of the wire has resistivity `rho` and right half has resistivity `2rho`, then null point is at '`l_(3)`'. Choose the correct statement:

A

`l_(1)=l_(2)=l_(3)`

B

`l_(1)=l_(2) gt l_(3)`

C

`l_(1) gt l_(2) gt l_(3)`

D

`l_(1)=l_(2)lt l_(3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
if resistivity is uniform then position of null point does not depend on its value so `l_(1)=l_(2)`.
If left half has resistivity `rho` and right half has resistivity `2rho` then to get some ratio null point has to be shifted towards right `l_(3) gt l_(2)`.
