MCQ
Which of the following statements is false?
  • A
    Wheatstone bridge is the most sensitive when all the four resistances are of the same order of magnitude
  • In a balanced wheatstone bridge if the cell and the galvanometer are exchanged, the null point is disturbed.
  • C
    A rheostat can be used as a potential divider
  • D
    Kirchhoff's second law represents energy conservation

Answer

Correct option: B.
In a balanced wheatstone bridge if the cell and the galvanometer are exchanged, the null point is disturbed.
b
There is no change in null point, if the cell and the galvanometer are exchanged in a balanced wheatstone birdge.

Three wires of copper, iron and nickel are joined to form three junctions as shown in Fig. When the temperature of junction 1 is kept 50℃ with the other two junctions at 0℃, the sensitive galvanometer gives a deflection of 14 divisions. When the temperature of junction 3 is kept 50℃, with the other two junctions at 0℃, the galvanometer gives a deflection of 11 divisions. Then the deflection given by the galvanometer, when temperature of the junction 2 is kept at 50℃, with the other two junctions at 0℃, will be
