Assertion : When current through a bulb decreases by $0.5\%$, the glow of bulb decreases by $1\%$.
Reason : Glow (Power) which is directly proportional to square of current.

Glow $=$ Power $(P) =I^2R$
$\therefore \,\frac{{dP}}{P} = 2\left( {\frac{{dI}}{I}} \right) = 2\, \times \,0.5\, = \,1\,\% $

For key $K _{1}$ (closed), the jockey is adjusted to touch the wire at point $J_{1}$ so that there is no deflection in the galvanometer. Now the first battery $\left( E _{1}\right)$ is replaced by second battery $\left( E _{2}\right)$ for working by making $K _{1}$ open and $K _{2}$ closed. The galvanometer gives then null deflection at $J _{2}$. The value of $\frac{ E _{1}}{ E _{2}}$ is $\frac{ a }{ b },$ where $a =$ ...............View Solution
