Reason: Greater the length of the wire, the better is the accuracy.


Important Questions on Current Electricity
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.

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

In a metrebridge, the balancing length from the left end (standard resistance of one is in the right gap) is found to be . The value of the unknown resistance is

In metre bridge experiment, with a standard resistance in the right gap and a resistance coil dipped in water (in a beaker) in the left gap, the balancing length obtained is . If the temperature of water is increased, the new balancing

Resistances in the two gaps of a metre bridge are and respectively. If the resistances are interchanged, the balance point (in ) shifts by

The resistances in the left and right gap of a meter bridge are and respectively. When the resistance in the left gap is reduced to half its value, the balance point shifts by

An unknown resistance is connected in series with a resistance of . This combination is connected to one gap of a metre bridge, while a resistance is connected in the other gap. The balance point is at . Now, when the resistance is removed the balance point shifts to . The value of is (in )

Two unknown resistances are connected in two gaps of a meter-bridge. The null point is obtained at from left end. A resistance is connected in series with the smaller of the two resistances, the null point shifts by to the right end. The value of smaller resistance in is
