In a potentiometer arrangement. $E_1$ is the cell establishing current in primary circuit. $E_2$ is the cell to be measured. $AB$ is the potentiometer wire and $G$ is a galvanometer. Which of the following are the essential condition for balance to be obtained.
The Wheatstone bridge shown in Fig. here, gets balanced when the carbon resistor used as $R_1$ has the colour code (Orange, Red, Brown). The resistors $R_2$ and $R_4$ are $80\, \Omega $ and $40\,\Omega $, respectively. Assuming that the colour code for the carbon resistors gives their accurate values, the colour code for the carbon resistor, used as $R_3$ would be
Three resistors are connected to form the sides of a triangle $ABC$, the resistance of the sides $AB$, $BC$ and $CA$ are $40\,ohms$, $60\,ohms$ and $100\,ohms$ respectively. The effective resistance between the points $A$ and $B$ in $ohms$ will be
Two resistances are connected in two gaps of a meter bridge. The balance point is $20\, cm$ from the zero end. A resistance of $15\, ohms$ is connected in series with the smaller of the two. The null point shifts to $40\, cm$. The value of the smaller resistance in $ohms$ is
Three light bulbs of $40\, W$, $60\, W$ and $100\, W$ are connected in series with $220\, V$ source. Which one of the bulbs will glow brightest ............ $W$
Four lamps are connected in the way shown in the figure. When switch $S_2$ is open and switch $S_1$ is on position $-2$ , lamp $-b$ is the brightest, and lamp $-c$ and lamp $-d$ are the dimmest and are of the same brightness. Now $S_2$ is closed and $S_1$ is on position $-1$ , the sequence in brightness of the lamps is (with the first in the sequence being the brightest)
