In a practical Wheatstone bridge circuit as shown, when one more resistance of is connected in parallel with an unknown resistance , then ratio become is balance length and is a uniform wire. Then value of must be:




Important Questions on Electrical Measuring Instruments

and are different values of and and are the null points obtained corresponding to and respectively. For which of the following the value of will be the most accurate:

In the shown arrangement of the experiment of the meter bridge, if corresponding to null deflection of the galvanometer is , what would be its value if the radius of the wire is doubled?

In the circuit shown , the reading of the galvanometer is same with switch open or closed. Then

The measurement of an unknown resistance is to be carried out using the Wheatstone bridge as given in the figure. Two students perform an experiment in two ways. The first students take and . The other student takes and . In the standard arm, both take . Both find within errors.

In a meter bridge, the point is a neutral point (see figure).
