The Wheatstone bridge shown in the figure below, 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 gives their accurate values, the colour code for the carbon resistor, used as , would be




Important Questions on Current Electricity


If is almost zero, identify the correct statement:



The galvanometer deflection, when key is closed but is open, equals (see figure). On closing also and adjusting to the deflection in galvanometer becomes The resistance of the galvanometer is, then, given by [Neglect the internal resistance of battery]:



In a meter bridge, the wire of length has a non-uniform cross-section such that, the variation of its resistance with length is Two equal resistances are connected as shown in the figure. The galvanometer has zero deflection when the jockey is at point What is the length
