Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 30

Question: Assertion : In meter bridge experiment, a high resistance is always connected in series with a galvanometer. Reason : As resistance increases current through the circuit increases.

Options:

A) If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

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

C) If assertion is true but reason is false.

D) If the assertion and reason both are false.

E) If assertion is false but reason is true.

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

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.
