MCQ
Wheatstones’s bridge cannot be used for measurement of very $......$ resistances.
  • A
    High
  • Low
  • C
    Low(or) high
  • D
    Zero

Answer

Correct option: B.
Low
From wheatstone bridge while measuring For resistances of very low value like few ohms , the effect of other components of the circuit like wires , galvanometer etc. might come into account. these components might introduce stray resistance to the calculation.

In an experiment of measuring the refractive index of a glass slab using travelling microscope in physics lab, a student measures real thickness of the glass slab as $5.25\,mm$ and apparent thickness of the glass slab at $5.00\,mm$. Travelling microscope has $20$ divisions in one $cm$ on main scale and $50$ divisions on Vernier scale is equal to $49$ divisions on main scale. The estimated uncertainty in the measurement of refractive index of the slab is $\frac{x}{10} \times 10^{-3}$, where $x$ is $..............$

A circular coil of radius $R$ and $N$ turns has negligible resistance. As shown in the schematic figure, its two ends are connected to two wires and it is hanging by those wires with its plane being vertical. The wires are connected to a capacitor with charge $Q$ through a switch. The coil is in a horizontal uniform magnetic field $B_0$ parallel to the plane of the coil. When the switch is closed, the capacitor gets discharged through the coil in a very short time. By the time the capacitor is discharged fully, magnitude of the angular momentum gained by the coil will be (assume that the discharge time is so short that the coil has hardly rotated during this time)-
