Question 13 Marks

A galvanometer of resistance $100 C$ gives a full scale deflection for a current of $2 mA$. How will you use it to measure (i) current up to $2 A$ (ii) voltage up to $10 V$ ?

Answer

Data : $G =100 \Omega, I _{ g }=2 mA =2 \times 10^{-3} A , I =2 A , V =10 V$
(i)
$ S=\frac{G I_g}{I-I_g}$
$=\frac{100 \times 2 \times 10^{-3}}{2-2 \times 10^{-3}}=\frac{2 \times 10^{-1}}{1.998}=\frac{10^{-1}}{0.999}$
$\therefore S=0.1001 \Omega \quad \text { (using the reciprocal table) } $
A resistance of $0.1001 \Omega$ should be connected in parallel to the coil of the galvanometer to measure current up to $2 A$.
$ \text { (ii) } R _{ S }=\frac{V}{I_{ g }}- G$
$=\frac{10}{2 \times 10^{-3}}-100=5000-100=4900 \Omega $
A resistance of $4900 \Omega$ should be connected in series with the coil of the galvanometer to measure voltage up to $10 V$.

Question 23 Marks

A galvanometer with a coil of resistance $40 \Omega$ gives a full scale deflection for a current of 5 $mA$. How will you convert it into an ammeter of range $0-5 A$ ?

Answer

Data: $G=40 \Omega, I_g=5 mA =5 \times 10^{-3} A , I =5 A$
To convert a galvanometer into an ammeter, a shunt (i.e, low resistance in parallel) should be connected with the galvanometer coil. The required shunt resistance,
$ S=\left(\frac{I_8}{I-I_8}\right) G=\left(\frac{5 \times 10^{-3}}{5-5 \times 10^{-3}}\right) \times 40$
$=\frac{200}{4995}=0.04 \Omega $

The combined resistance of a galvanometer of resistance $1000 \Omega$ and its shunt is $25 \Omega$.
Calculate the value of the shunt.

Answer

Data: $G=1000 \Omega, R_A=25 \Omega$
$
\begin{aligned}
\frac{1}{R_{ A }} & =\frac{1}{G}+\frac{1}{S} \quad \therefore \frac{1}{S}=\frac{1}{R_{ A }}-\frac{1}{G}=\frac{G-R_{ A }}{R_{ A } \cdot G} \\
\therefore S & =\frac{R_{ A } \cdot G}{G-R_{ A }}=\frac{25 \times 1000}{1000-25}=\frac{25 \times 1000}{975} \\
& =\frac{1000}{39}=25.64 \Omega

Question 53 Marks

A galvanometer is shunted by $1 / r$ of its resistance. Find the fraction of the total current passing through the galvanometer.

Answer

Let $G$ be the resistance of the galvanometer, I the total current and $I _{ g }$ the current through the galvanometer when it is shunted. The resistance of the shunt is
$ \therefore S=\frac{G}{r} \text { (by data) } \quad \text { or } \quad \frac{G}{S}=r$
$\therefore \frac{I_g}{I}=\frac{S}{S+G}=\frac{1}{1+G / S}=\frac{1}{1+r} $
The fraction $\frac{1}{1+r}$ of the total current passes through the galvanometer.
[Note : The fraction of the current through the shunt $=$
$\left.\frac{I_{ S }}{I}=1-\frac{I_{ g }}{I}=\frac{r}{1+r}\right]$

Question 63 Marks

A moving-coil galvanometer of resistance 200 ohms gives a full scale deflection of 100 divisions for a current of 50 milliamperes. How will you convert it into an ammeter to read 2 amperes for 20 divisions?

Answer

Data: $G =200 \Omega, I _{ g }=50 mA =50 \times 10^{-3} A$
The total number of scale divisions is 100 . The ammeter has to read 20 divisions for a current of $2 A$. Hence, for 100 divisions, the current must be I $=10 A$.
To convert the galvanometer into an ammeter, a shunt must be connected in parallel to the galvanometer coil. The required shunt resistance,
$
\begin{aligned}
S & =\left(\frac{I_g}{I-I_g}\right){ }_{\text {}}^G \\
& =\left(\frac{50 \times 10^{-3}}{10-50 \times 10^{-3}}\right) \times 200 \\

Question 73 Marks

Calculate the value of the shunt which when connected across a galvanometer of resistance $38 \Omega$ will allow $1 / 20$ th of the current to pass through the galvanometer.

Answer

Data : $G=38 \Omega, I_g / I=\frac{1}{20}$
Data : $G=38 \Omega, I_{ g } / I=\frac{1}{20}$
$
\begin{aligned}
& I_g=\left(\frac{S}{S+G}\right) \\
\therefore & \frac{I_g}{I}=\frac{S}{S+G} \quad \therefore \frac{1}{20}=\frac{S}{S+38} \\
\therefore S & +38=20 S \\
\therefore & 9 S=38 \\
\therefore S & =2 \Omega
\end{aligned}
$
This is the required value of the shunt.

Question 93 Marks

What are the modifications required to convert a moving-coil galvanometer into a voltmeter?

Answer

The modifications required to convert a moving-coil galvanometer into a voltmeter are as follows:
1. The effective resistance of the galvanometer should be very high. This is because a voltmeter requires a very small current to deflect its pointer. If a larger current than this flows through the voltmeter, the voltmeter is said to load the circuit and it will record a much smaller voltage drop.
2. The voltage measuring capacity (range) should be increased to a desired value.
3. It must be protected from damages which are likely to occur due to an excess applied potential difference.

Question 103 Marks

How do you calculate the shunt required to increase the range p times?

Answer

The value of shunt resistance required to convert a galvanometer into an ammeter is given by,
$
S =\left(\frac{I_{ g }}{I-I_{ g }}\right) G
$
If the current I is $p$ times the current $I _{ g }$ then $I = pl _{ g }$. Using this in the above expression, we get,
$
S =\frac{G I_{ g }}{p I_{ g }-I_{ g }} \text { OR } S =\frac{G}{p-1}
$
This is the required shunt resistance to increase the range $p$ times.

Question 123 Marks

What are the modifications necessary to convert a moving-coil galvanometer (MCG) into an ammeter?

Answer

To convert a moving-coil galvanometer (MCG) into an ammeter, the following modifications are necessary:
1. The effective current capacity of the MCG must be increased to a desired higher value.
2. A galvanometer when connected in series with a resistance, should not decrease the current through the resistance. Hence, the effective resistance of the galvanometer must be decreased by connecting an appropriate low resistance across it. An ideal ammeter should have zero resistance.
3. It must be protected from the damages which are likely to occur due to the passage of an excess electric current.

Question 133 Marks

Two cells of emf's $E_1$ and $E_2\left(E_1>E_2\right)$ are connected in a potentiometer circuit so as to assist each other. The null point is obtained at $8.125 m$ from the high potential end of the potentiometer wire. When the cell with emf $E_2$ is connected so as to oppose the emf $E_1$ the null point is obtained at $1.25 m$ from the same end. Compare the emf's of the two cells.

Answer

Data : $l _1=8.125 m$ (cells assisting), $l _2=1.25 m$ (cells opposing)
$E _1+ E _2= Kl _1$ and $E _1- E _2= Kl _2$

$
\begin{aligned}
\frac{E_1}{E_2}=\frac{l_1+l_2}{l_1-l_2} & =\frac{8.125+1.25}{8.125-1.25} \\

Question 193 Marks

Four resistances $80 \Omega, 40 \Omega, 10 \Omega$ and $15 \Omega$ are connected to form Wheatstone's network $A B C D$ as shown in the following figure.

What resistance must be connected in the branch containing $10 \Omega$ to balance the network?

Answer

Data : P $=80 \Omega, Q=40 \Omega, 10 \Omega$ and $R=15 \Omega$ are connected as shown in above figure.
When the network is balanced,
$ \frac{P}{Q}=\frac{S}{R}$

Question 203 Marks

Four resistances $4 \Omega, 4 \Omega, 4 \Omega$ and $12 \Omega$ form a Wheatstone network. Find the resistance which connected across the $12 \Omega$ resistance will balance the network.

Answer

The resistance in each of the three arms of the network is $4 \Omega$. Hence, to balance the network, the resistance in the fourth arm must also be $4 \Omega$.Hence, the resistance ( $R$ ) to be connected across. i.e, in parallel to, the $12 \Omega$ resistance should be such that their equivalent resistance is $4 \Omega$.
$ \therefore \frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{12}+\frac{1}{R}$
$\therefore \frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{12}=\frac{3-1}{12}=\frac{2}{12}=\frac{1}{6}$

Question 213 Marks

Two diametrically opposite points of a metal ring are connected to two tenninals of the left gap of a metre bridge. A resistance of $11 \Omega$ is connected in the right gap. If the null point is obtained at $45 cm$ from the left end, find the resistance of the metal ring.

Answer

Data: $R=11 \Omega, L_x=45 cm$
$
\therefore L_R=100-L_X=100-45=55 cm
$
Let $\frac{X}{2}$ be the resistance of each half of the metal ring. Therefore the resistance in the left gap is the effective resistance of the parallel combination of $\frac{X}{2}$ and $\frac{X}{2}$
$
R_{ P }=\frac{\left(\frac{X}{2}\right)\left(\frac{X}{2}\right)}{\frac{X}{2}+\frac{X}{2}}=\frac{X^2 / 4}{X}=\frac{X}{4}
$

At balance, $\frac{R_{ P }}{R}=\frac{L_X}{L_R} \quad \therefore \frac{X / 4}{11}=\frac{45}{55}=\frac{9}{11}$
$
\therefore \frac{X}{4}=9 \Omega \quad \therefore X=4 \times 9=36 \Omega
$
The resistance of the metal ring is $36 \Omega$

Question 233 Marks

Why is Kelvin's method to measure the resistance of a galvanometer called an equal deflection method?

Answer

In Kelvin's method of determination of the galvanometer resistance using a Wheatstone metre bridge, the galvanometer is connected in one gap of the bridge and a variable known resistance is connected in the other gap. The junction of the two gaps (say, B) is connected directly to a pencil jockey.
The jockey is tapped along the wire to locate the equipotential balance point $D$ when the galvanometer shows no change in deflection.
Since the galvanometer shows the same deflection on making or breaking the contact between the jockey and the wire, the method is an equal deflection method.

Question 253 Marks

Post Office Box
A post office box (PO Box) is a practical form of Wheatstone bridge as shown in the figure.

It consists of three arms P, Q and R. The resistances in these three arms are adjustable. The two ratio arms P and Q contain resistances of $10$ ohm, $100$ ohm and $1000$ ohm each. The third arm R contains resistances from $1$ ohm to $5000$ ohm. The unknown resistance X (usually, in the form of a wire) forms the fourth arm of the Wheatstone’s bridge. There are two tap keys $K_1$ and $K_2$ .

Answer

The resistances in the arms P and Q are fixed to a desired ratio. The resistance in the arm R is adjusted so that the galvanometer shows no deflection. Now the bridge is balanced. The unknown resistance X = RQ/P, where P and Q are the fixed resistances in the ratio arms and R is the adjustable known resistance.If L is the length of the wire used to prepare the resistor with resistance X and r is its radius, then the specific resistance (resistivity) of the material of the wire is given by
$\rho=\frac{X \pi r^2}{L}$

Question 263 Marks

What will be the effect on the position of zero deflection if only the current flowing through the potentiometer wire is
(i) increased (ii) decreased.

Answer

(1) On increasing the current through the potentiometer wire, the potential gradient along the wire will increase. Hence, the position of zero deflection will occur at a shorter length.

(2) On decreasing the current through the potentiometer wire, the potential gradient along the wire will decrease. Hence, the position of zero deflection will occur at a longer length.

[Note : In the usual notation,
$
E _1=\left.\left(\frac{I R}{L}\right)\right|_1=\text { constant }
$
Hence, (i) $E$, decreases when $I$ is increased (ii) $I_1$ increases when $I$ is decreased.]

Question 293 Marks

State the uses of a potentiometer.

Answer

The applications (uses) of the potentiometer :

Voltage divider :
The potentiometer can be used as a voltage divider to change the output voltage of a voltage supply.
Audio control:
Sliding potentiometers are commonly used in modern low-power audio systems as audio control devices. Both sliding (faders) and rotary potentiometers (knobs) are regularly used for frequency attenuation, loudness control and for controlling different characteristics of audio signals.
Potentiometer as a sensor:
If the slider of the potentiometer is connected to the moving part of a machine, it can work as a motion sensor. A small displacement of the moving part causes a change in potential which is further amplified using an amplifier circuit. The potential difference is calibrated in terms of displacement of the moving part.
To measure the emf (for this, the emf of the standard cell and potential gradient must be known).
To compare the emf’s of two cells.
To determine the internal resistance of a cell.

Question 303 Marks

Why is potentiometer preferred over a voltmeter for measuring emf?

Answer

A voltmeter should ideally have an infinite resistance so that it does not draw any current from the circuit. However a voltmeter cannot be designed to have infinite resistance. A potentiometer does not draw any current from the circuit at the null point. Therefore, it gives more accurate measurement. Thus, it acts as an ideal voltmeter.

Question 313 Marks

What is potential gradient? How is it measured? Explain.

Answer

Consider a potentiometer consisting of a long uniform wire AB of length L and resistance R, stretched on a wooden board and connected in series with a cell of stable emf E and internal resistance r and a plug key K as shown in below figure

Let I be the current flowing through the wire when the circuit is closed.
Current through $AB , I =\frac{E}{R+r}$
Potential difference across $A B . V_{A B}=I R$
$\therefore V _{ AB }=\frac{E R}{(R+r)}$
The potential difference (the fall of potential from the high potential end) per unit length of the wire,
$\frac{V_{ AB }}{L}=\frac{E R}{(R+r) L}$
As long as $E$ and $r$ remain constant, $\frac{V_{ AB }}{L}$ will remain constant, $\frac{V_{ AB }}{L}$ is known as potential gradient along
AB and is denoted by K. Thus the potential gradient is calculated by measuring the potential difference between ends of the potentiometer wire and dividing it by the length of the wire.
Let P be any point on the wire between A and B and AP = l = length of the wire between A and P.
Then $V_{AP} = Kl$
$\therefore V_{AP} ∝ l$ as K is constant in a particular case. Thus, the potential difference across any length of the potentiometer wire is directly proportional to that length. This is the principle of the potentiometer.

Question 323 Marks

State any two sources of errors in meterbridge experiment. Explain how they can be minimized.

Answer

The chief sources of error in the metre bridge experiment are as follows :

The bridge wire may not be uniform in cross section. Then the wire will not have a uniform resistance per unit length and hence its resistance will not be proportional to its length.
End resistances at the two ends of the wire may be introduced due to
1. the resistance of the metal strips
2. the contact resistance of the bridge wire with the metal strips
3. unmeasured lengths of the wire at the ends because the contact points of the wire with the metal strips do not coincide with the two ends of the metre scale attached.

Such errors are almost unavoidable but can be minimized considerably as follows :

Readings must be taken by adjusting the standard known resistance such that the null point is obtained close to the centre of the wire. When several readings are to be taken, the null points should lie in the middle one-third of the wire.
The measurements must be repeated with the standard resistance (resistance box) and the unknown resistance interchanged in the gaps of the bridge, obtaining the averages of the two results.

Question 333 Marks

In a Wheatstone’s meter-bridge experiment, the null point is obtained in middle one third portion of wire. Why is it recommended?

Answer

The value of unknown resistance $X$, may not be accurate due to non-uniformity of the bridge wire and development of contact resistance at the ends of the wire.
To minimise these errors, the value of R is so adjusted that the null point is obtained in the middle one-third of the wire (between $34\ cm$ and $66\ cm$) so that the percentage errors in the measurement of $I_X$ and $I_R$ are minimum and nearly the same.
