Answer the following question.
What is the end error in a meter bridge? How is it overcome? The resistances in the two arms of the metre bridge are R = Ω and S respectively. When the resistance S is shunted with equal resistance, the new balance length found to be 1.5 l1, where l2 is the initial balancing length. calculate the value of s.
उत्तर
The shifting of zero of the scale at different points as well as the stray resistance gives rise to the end error in meter bridge wire. This error arises due to the non-uniformity of the meter wire End corrections can be estimated by including known resistances P1 and Q1 in the two ends and finding the null point.
We have
R = 5 Ω
According to wheat stone bridge principle:
`R/l_1 = S/(100 - l_1)`
`5/l_1 = S/(100 - l_1)` ....(1)
After shunting, connect the resistance in parallel
`S → S/2`
`5/(1.5 l_1) = S/(2(100 - 1.5 l_1))` ....(2)
Thus, equation (1) can be written as
`500 - 5l_1 = Sl_1` ....(3)
And equation 2 is
`10(100 - 1.5l_1) = 1.5 Sl_1` ....(4)
From equation (3) and (4)
`(500 - 5l_1)/l_1 = (1000 - 15l_1)/(1.5l_1)`
`750 - 7.5l_1 = 1000 - 15l_1`
`-250 = -7.5l_1`
`l_1 = 100/3`
S = `(500 - (5 xx 100)/3)/(100/3) = (500 - 500/3)/(100/3) = 1000/3 xx 3/100`
S = 10 Ω

The earth’s surface has a negative surface charge density of 10−9 C m−2. The potential difference of 400 kV between the top of the atmosphere and the surface results (due to the low conductivity of the lower atmosphere) in a current of only 1800 A over the entire globe. If there were no mechanism of sustaining atmospheric electric field, how much time (roughly) would be required to neutralise the earth’s surface? (This never happens in practice because there is a mechanism to replenish electric charges, namely the continual thunderstorms and lightning in different parts of the globe). (Radius of earth = 6.37 × 106 m.)
