Important Questions on Current Electricity
The Wheatstone bridge shown in fig. here gets balanced when the carbon resistor used as has the colour code (orange, Red, Brown). The resistors and are and respectively. Assuming that the colour code for the carbon resistors given their accurate values, the colour code for the carbon resistor, used as would be :

The actual value of resistance shown in the figure is This is measured in an experiment as shown using the standard formula where and are the readings of the voltmeter and ammeter, respectively. If the measured value of is less, then the internal resistance of the voltmeter is

In a Wheatstone bridge (see figure), resistances and are approximately equal. When , the bridge is equal. When , the bridge is balanced. On interchanging and , the value of for balance is . The value of is close to,

The resistance of the meter bridge in given figure is With a cell of emf and rheostat resistance the null point is obtained at some point When the cell is replaced by another one of emf the same null point is found for The emf is


In the experimental set--up of metre bridge shown in the figure, the null point is obtained at a distance of from . If a resistor is connected in series with the null point shifts by The resistance that should be connected in parallel with such that the null point shifts back to its initial position is

In the circuit shown, the potential difference between and is :
