In a Wheatstone's metrebridge, the null point is obtained at the middle point of the wire. If in one gap the resistance is , then the value of resistance in the other gap is
Assertion: A slide wire bridge is also called a metre bridge.
Reason: It is because the length of wire in a slide wire bridge is one metre.
Assertion: In a metre bridge, the length of the wire is .
Reason: Greater the length of the wire, the better is the accuracy.
