Statement 1In1 \mathrm{In} a Meter Bridge experiment, null point for an unknown resistance is measured. Now, the unknown resistance is put inside an enclosure maintained at a higher temperature. The null point can be obtained at the same point as before by decreasing the value of the standard resistance. and Statement 2 Resistance of a metal increase with increase in temperature.

Options

  1. AStatement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is a correct explanation for Statement 1.
  2. BStatement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is not a correct explanation for Statement 1.
  3. CStatement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false.
  4. DStatement 1 is false, Statement 2 is true

Correct answer

D. Statement 1 is false, Statement 2 is true

Step-by-step solution

With increase in temperature, the value of unknown resistance will increase. In balanced Wheatstone bridge condition, RX=l1l2\frac{R}{X}=\frac{l_1}{l_2} Here, R=R= value of standard resistance, X=X= value of unknown resistance . To take null point at same point or l1l2\frac{l_1}{l_2} to remain unchanged, RX\frac{R}{X} should also remain unchanged. Therefore, if XX is increasing RR should also increase. ∴\therefore correct option is (d).
