MCQ
A meter bridge set up as shown to determine end correction at $A$ and $B$. When a resistance of $15\ \Omega$ is used in left gap and of $20\ \Omega$ in right gap, then null point comes at a distance $42\ cm$ from $A$. When these resistances are interchanged null point comes at a distance $57\ cm$ from $A$. Values of end corrections are
  • A
    $1\ cm$, $2\ cm$
  • B
    $2\ cm$, $3\ cm$
  • C
    $3\ cm$, $4\ cm$
  • $3\ cm$, $2\ cm$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$3\ cm$, $2\ cm$
d
Let and corrections at $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{B}\, \alpha$ and $\beta$

$\frac{15}{42+\alpha}=\frac{20}{58+\beta} \Rightarrow \frac{58+\beta}{42+\alpha}=\frac{4}{3}$

$\Rightarrow 3 \beta+174=168+4 \alpha$

$4 \alpha-3 \beta=6$         ............$(i)$

$\frac{20}{57+\alpha}=\frac{15}{43+\beta} \Rightarrow \frac{57+\alpha}{43+\beta}$

$=\frac{4}{3} \Rightarrow 171+3 \alpha=172+4 \beta$

$3 \alpha-4 \beta=1$           ............$(ii)$

from $(i)$ and $(ii)$

$\alpha=3 \mathrm{\,cm}, \beta=2 \mathrm{\,cm}$

A highly conducting ring of radius $R$ is perpendicular to and concentric with the axis of a long solenoid as shown in fig. The ring has a narrow gap of width d in its circumference. The solenoid has cross sectional area A and a uniform internal field of magnitude $B_0$. Now beginning at $t = 0$, the solenoid current is steadily increased to so that the field magnitude at any time t is given by $B(t)$ = $B_0$ + $\alpha$t where $\alpha > 0$. Assuming that no charge can flow across the gap, the end of ring which has excess of positive charge and the magnitude of induced $e.m.f$. in the ring are respectively
