In the shown arrangement of the experiment of the meter bridge if ACA C corresponding to null deflection of galvanometer is x,\mathrm{x}, what would be its value if the radius of the wire AB\mathrm{AB} is doubled? In the shown arrangement of the experiment of the meter bridge if A C corresponding to null deflection of galvanometer

Options

  1. Axx
  2. Bx/4x / 4
  3. C4x4 x
  4. D2x2 x

Correct answer

A. xx

Step-by-step solution

In the shown arrangement of the experiment of the meter bridge if A C corresponding to null deflection of galvanometer
At null point R1R2=R3R4=x100−x\frac{R_{1}}{R_{2}}=\frac{R_{3}}{R_{4}}=\frac{x}{100-x} If radius of the wire is doubled, then the resistance of ACA C will change and also the resistance of CBC B will change. But since R1R2\frac{R_{1}}{R_{2}} does not change so, R3R4\frac{R_{3}}{R_{4}} should also not change at null point. Therefore the point CC does not change.
