C
Decrease resistance in main circuit
D
Decrease applied emf

B
Increase resistance in main circuit
b To shift the balance point on higher length, the potential gradient of the wire is to be decreased. The same can be obtained by decreasing the current of the main circuit, which is possible by increasing the resistance in series of potential wire

An electric wire of length ‘$I$’ and area of cross-section $a$ has a resistance $R\, ohms$. Another wire of the same material having same length and area of cross-section $4a$ has a resistance of
Dimensions of a block are $1\,cm \times 1\,cm \times 100\,cm$. If specific resistance of its material is $3 \times {10^{ - 7}}\,ohm - m$, the resistance between the square faces is
This question has Statement $1$ and Statement $2.$ Of the four choices given after the Statements, choose the one that best describes the two Statements.
Statement $1 :$ The possibility of an electric bulb fusing is higher at the time of switching $ON.$
Statement $2:$ Resistance of an electric bulb when it is not lit up is much smaller than when it is lit up.
