प्रश्न
Write balancing condition of a Wheatstone bridge.
उत्तर
When no current flows through the galvanometer, the wheatstone bridge is considered to be in a balanced state. This condition can be met by modifying the known and variable resistance.
The balancing condition,
`"R"_1/"R"_2 = "R"_3/"R"_4`

State any two sources of errors in the meter-bridge experiment. Explain how they can be minimized.
In a meter bridge, the balance point is found to be at 39.5 cm from the end A when the resistor R is 12.5 Ω (right gap).
a) Determine the resistance of X (left gap).
b) Determine the balance point of the bridge if X and R are interchanged?
c) What happens if the galvanometer and cell are interchanged at the balance point of the bridge?
A resistance of 5 `Omega` is connected in the left gap of a metre bridge and 15 `Omega` in the other gap. The position of the balancing point is ____________.
In a balanced metre bridge, 5 Ω is connected in the left gap and R Ω in the right gap. When R Ω is shunted with equal resistance, the new balance point is at 1.6 I1 where 'I1' is the earlier balancing length. The value of 'I1' is ______
In the meter bridge experiment, a null point was obtained at a distance of ℓ from the left end. The values of resistances in the left and right gaps are doubled and then interchanged. The new position of a null point is ______
In a metre bridge experiment, the ratio of the left-gap resistance to right gap resistance is 2: 3. The balance point from the left is ______.
The current through 1 `Omega` resistance in the following circuit is ______.
The measurement of an unknown resistance R is to be carried out using Wheatstones bridge (figure). Two students perform an experiment in two ways. The first students takes R2 = 10 Ω and R1 = 5 Ω. The other student takes R2 = 1000 Ω and R1 = 500 Ω. In the standard arm, both take R3 = 5 Ω. Both find R = `R_2/R_1 R_3` = 10 Ω within errors.
- The errors of measurement of the two students are the same.
- Errors of measurement do depend on the accuracy with which R2 and R1 can be measured.
- If the student uses large values of R2 and R1, the currents through the arms will be feeble. This will make determination of null point accurately more difficult.
- Wheatstone bridge is a very accurate instrument and has no errors of measurement.
A resistance of 20 Ω is connected in the left gap of a meter bridge and an unknown resistance greater than 20 Ω is connected in the right gap. When these resistances are interchanged, the balance point shifts by 20 cm. The unknown resistance is ______.
