A resistance R is to be measured using a meter bridge, a student chooses the standard resistance S to be 100 Ω He finds the null point at l1= 2.9 cm. He is told to attempt to improve the accuracy. Which of the following is a useful way?
(a)
He should measure l1, more accurately
(b) He should change S to 1000 ? and repeat the experiment
(c) He should change S to 3 ? and repeat the experiment
(d) He should have given up hope of a more accurate measurement with a meter bridge.

    This is a Multiple Choice Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar

    Answer – (c)

    Explanation – R/S= (l1/100-l1)= 100 (2.9/100-2.9)= 100/97.1=2.98ohm

    So he should change S to almost 3 ohm and repeat the experiment.

There are two types of electricity - Static and Current electricity. The electric charges buildup on a material's surface is called the static electricity. The continuous flow of electric charge is termed as the current electricity. Current electricity is of two types - Alternating Current (AC) and Direct Current (DC). In AC, the charge direction reverses periodically and in DC, charge flows in one direction.
