Current Electricity Ques 87

  1. Statement I In a meter bridge experiment, null point for an unknown resistance is measured. Now, the unknown resistance is put inside an enclosure maintained at a higher temperature. The null point can be obtained at the same point as before by decreasing the value of the standard resistance.

Statement II Resistance of a metal increases with increase in temperature.

$(2008,3$ M)

Answer:

Correct Answer: 87.(d)

Solution:

  1. With increase in temperature, the value of unknown resistance will increase.

In balanced Wheat stone bridge condition,

$ \frac{R}{X}=\frac{l _1}{l _2} $

Here, $R=$ value of standard resistance.

$ X=\text { value of unknown resistance. } $

To take null point at same point

or $\frac{l _1}{l _2}$ to remain unchanged, $\frac{R}{X}$ should also remain unchanged.

Therefore, if $X$ is increasing $R$, should also increase.

$\therefore$ Correct option is $(d)$.
