Maulik Mehra answered
Explanation:With a known resistance in one of the gaps, the meter bridge is used to determine the value of unknown resistance by the formula. 

The Wheatstone bridge is balanced for four resistors R1,R2,R3 and R4 with a cell of emf 1.46 V. The cell is now replaced by another cell of emf 1.08 V. To obtain the balance again
  • a)
    All the four resistance should be changed
  • b)
    Both the resistance R1 and R4 should be changed
  • c)
    No resistance needs to be changed
  • d)
    Resistance R4 should be changed only
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Neha Sharma answered
The balance point of the Wheatstone’s bridge is determined by the ratio of the resistances. The change in the emf of the external battery will have no effect on the balance point.
 
Explanation:

  • Initial Balanced Wheatstone Bridge: In the initial balanced Wheatstone bridge configuration, the emf of the cell is 1.46 V and all four resistors R1, R2, R3, and R4 are set to specific values to achieve balance.

  • Replacement of Cell: When the cell is replaced by another cell with an emf of 1.08 V, the balance of the Wheatstone bridge is disrupted.

  • Requirement for Rebalancing: In order to rebalance the Wheatstone bridge with the new cell of emf 1.08 V, no resistance needs to be changed.

  • Reasoning: The balance of the Wheatstone bridge is determined by the ratio of the resistances in the bridge arms and not by the absolute values of the resistances. As long as the ratio of the resistances remains the same, the balance will be maintained regardless of the emf of the cell.

  • Conclusion: Therefore, in this scenario, no resistance needs to be changed to obtain the balance again with the new cell of emf 1.08 V.

  • a)
    nG
  • b)
    (n−1)G
  • c)
    G/n
  • d)
    G/(n−1)
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Avantika Mehta answered
Understanding Voltmeter Conversion
To convert a voltmeter of range V volts into a voltmeter of range nV volts, we need to consider the resistance of the voltmeter and the additional resistance required in series.
Principle of Operation
- A voltmeter measures the potential difference across its terminals.
- When converting to a higher range, we add a series resistance to ensure that the voltmeter can handle the increased voltage without damaging its internal components.
Given Parameters
- Resistance of the voltmeter = G ohm
- Original range of the voltmeter = V volts
- New desired range = nV volts
Calculating Series Resistance
1. Voltage Division: When a voltmeter with resistance G is connected in series with another resistance R, the voltage drop across the voltmeter is a fraction of the total voltage.
2. Using Voltage Ratios: The voltage across the voltmeter can be given by the ratio:
- V / (V + R) = G / (G + R)
3. Setting Up the Equation: For the new range of nV:
- nV / (nV + R) = G / (G + R)
4. Solving for R: Rearranging gives us:
- R = (n-1)G
This means the resistance required in series to achieve the desired range of nV volts is (n - 1)G ohms.
Conclusion
Thus, the correct answer for the resistance used in series to convert the voltmeter into one of range nV volts is option B: (n - 1)G. This ensures proper functioning and safety of the voltmeter under higher voltage conditions.

A piece of copper and another of germanium are cooled from room temperature to 80K. The resistance
  • a)
    of each of them decreases
  • b)
    of each of them increases
  • c)
    copper increases and that of germanium decreases
  • d)
    copper decreases and that of germanium increases
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Pranjal Pillai answered
Explanation:Copper is a conductor and we know that for conductors, resistance is directly proprtional to temperature. Therefore on decreasing temperature resistance also decreases.Whereas, germanium is a semiconductor and for semiconductors, resistance is inversely proportional to temperature. So on decreasing temperature resistance increases.

If the system of equations
2x + 3y - z = 5
x + αy + 3z = -4
3x - y + βz = 7
has infinitely many solutions, then 13αβ is equal to
  • a)
    1110
  • b)
    1120
  • c)
    1210
  • d)
    1220
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Using family of planes
2x + 3y - z - 5 = k₁(x + αy + 3z + 4) + k₂(3x - y + βz - 7)
2 = k₁ + 3k₂, 3 = k₁α - k₂, -1 = 3k₁ + βk₂, -5 = 4k₁ - 7k₂
On solving we get
k₂ = 13/19, k₁ = -1/19, α = -70, β = -16/13
13αβ = 13(-70)(-16/13) = 1120

In a metre bridge experiment, null point is obtained at 20 cm from one end of the wire when resistance X is balanced against another resistance Y. If X<Y, then where will be the new position of the null point from the same end, if one decides to balance a resistance of 4X against Y ?
  • a)
    50 cm
  • b)
    80 cm
  • c)
    40 cm
  • d)
    70 cm
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Pranab Kapoor answered
Understanding the Metre Bridge Experiment
In a metre bridge experiment, the balance point (null point) indicates the equality of the ratios of resistances. Here’s a detailed explanation of how to determine the new null point when balancing different resistances.
Initial Setup
- A null point is found at 20 cm from one end of the wire when resistance X is balanced against resistance Y.
- This can be expressed as:
(X / Y) = (Length from one end / Length from the other end)
Thus, (X / Y) = (20 cm / 80 cm) = 1/4.
- Given that X < y,="" we="" can="" infer="" that="" x="" />
New Resistance Balancing
- Now, we are tasked with balancing a resistance of 4X against Y.
- The new equation becomes (4X / Y) = (Length from one end / Length from the other end).
Calculating New Null Point
- From the previous relationship, we know that X = (1/4)Y, therefore:
4X = 4 * (1/4)Y = Y.
- This implies that when balancing 4X against Y, they are equal.
- Hence, the new null point would be halfway along the bridge length, which is at 50 cm from one end.
Conclusion
- Therefore, when balancing a resistance of 4X against Y, the new null point will be at 50 cm from the original end.
- Thus, the correct answer is option a) 50 cm.

Consider the system of linear equations
x + y + z = 5,
x + 2y + λ²z = 9,
x + 3y + λz = μ, where λ, μ ∈ R.
Then, which of the following statement is NOT correct?
  • a)
    System has infinite number of solutions if λ = 1 and μ = 13
  • b)
    System is inconsistent if λ = 1 and μ ≠ 13
  • c)
    System is consistent if λ ≠ 1 and μ = 13
  • d)
    System has unique solution if λ ≠ 1 and μ ≠ 13
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Understanding the System of Equations
The given system of equations is:
1. x + y + z = 5
2. x + 2y + λ²z = 9
3. x + 3y + λz = μ
Here, λ and μ are real numbers that influence the solution of the system.
Analyzing the Conditions
1. Infinite Solutions (λ = 1, μ = 13):
- If λ = 1, the second equation becomes x + 2y + z = 9.
- The third equation becomes x + 3y + z = 13.
- The first equation leads to a contradiction with the others, thus the system has infinite solutions.
2. Inconsistent System (λ = 1, μ ≠ 13):
- If μ is not equal to 13, the third equation will not align with the first two, causing inconsistency.
3. Consistent System (λ ≠ 1, μ = 13):
- When λ is not equal to 1, the equations can still yield a solution, particularly aligning with μ = 13.
4. Unique Solution (λ ≠ 1, μ ≠ 13):
- This scenario claims that a unique solution exists. However, this is incorrect because the system may still be dependent, leading to infinite solutions or inconsistency depending on the values of λ and μ.
Conclusion
The statement that the system has a unique solution if λ ≠ 1 and μ ≠ 13 is NOT correct. The system can either be consistent with infinite solutions or inconsistent based on the choices of λ and μ. Thus, option 'D' is the correct answer.

The resistance of a galvanometer is 10Ω. It gives full-scale deflection when 1 mA current is passed. The resistance connected in series for converting it into a voltmeter of 2.5 V will be
  • a)
    24.9Ω
  • b)
    249Ω
  • c)
    2490Ω
  • d)
    24900Ω
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Avantika Mehta answered
Understanding the Galvanometer
A galvanometer is an instrument that detects and measures small electric currents. In this case, the galvanometer has a resistance of 10 Ω and shows full-scale deflection with a current of 1 mA.
Calculating Maximum Voltage
To convert the galvanometer into a voltmeter, we need to calculate the maximum voltage it can measure. This is done using Ohm's law (V = I × R):
- Maximum Voltage (Vg) = Current (I) × Resistance (Rg)
- Vg = 1 mA × 10 Ω = 0.001 A × 10 Ω = 0.01 V or 10 mV
Required Voltage for Voltmeter
The goal is to convert it into a voltmeter that can measure up to 2.5 V.
Series Resistance Calculation
To achieve this, we must add a series resistor (Rs) to the galvanometer. The total voltage (V) across the combination of the galvanometer and the resistor should equal 2.5 V:
- Total Voltage (V) = Vg + Voltage across Rs
- 2.5 V = 0.01 V + (I × Rs)
Since I is 1 mA (0.001 A), we rearrange to find Rs:
- 2.5 V = 0.01 V + (0.001 A × Rs)
- Rs = (2.5 V - 0.01 V) / 0.001 A
- Rs = (2.49 V) / (0.001 A) = 2490 Ω
Conclusion
The resistance that needs to be connected in series to convert the galvanometer into a voltmeter capable of measuring 2.5 V is 2490 Ω. Thus, the correct answer is option 'C'.

Potentiometer measures the potential difference more accurately than a voltmeter, because
  • a)
    It draws a heavy current from external circuit.
  • b)
    It does not draw current from external circuit.
  • c)
    it has a wire of low resistance.
  • d)
    it has a wire of high resistance
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Amar Pillai answered
Explanation:Potentiometer measures the potential difference using null deflection method, where no current is drawn from the cell; whereas voltmeter needs a small current to show deflection. So, accurate measurement of p.d is done using a potentiometer.

Drift is the random motion of the charged particles within a conductor,
  • a)
    along with a very slow net motion in the opposite direction of the field
  • b)
    along with zero motion in the direction of the field
  • c)
    along with a decelerated motion in the direction of the field
  • d)
    along with accelerated motion in the direction of the field
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Pranjal Pillai answered
Explanation:The electrons in a conductor have random velocities and when an electric field is applied, they suffer repeated collisions and in the process move with a small average velocity, opposite to the direction of the field. This is equivalent to positive charge flowing in the direction of the field.

The sensitivity of the potentiometer can be increased by:
  • a)
    increasing the length of potentiometer wire.
  • b)
    increasing the e.m.f. of primary cell.
  • c)
    decreasing the length of potentiometer wire.
  • d)
    increasing the potential gradient.
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Anjali Reddy answered
Explanation:A potentiometer is considered to be sensitive if the potential gradient dV/dl is low. Such a potentiometer can measure very small changes in potential difference. Increasing the length of the potentiometer wire decreases the potential gradient. Its sensitivity increases. Increasing potential gradient decreases the sensitivity. increasing the emf of the primary cell and by decreasing the length, potential gradient increases.

Resistors 20Ω,100Ω and 25Ω will be in parallel. Their equivalent is 10Ω.


p.d. across 10Ω,10I = 10 × 10 = 100 V
This will be the voltmeter reading. Also, this will be the p.d. across each of 20Ω,100Ω and 25Ω resistors.
Ammeter reading = current through 25Ω=100/25=4 A.

R₂ → R₂ - R₁, R₃ → R₃ - R₁
On applying determinant formula, we get
2cos⁴x * (0-(-9)) - 2sin⁴x * (-9-0) + (3 + sin²2x) * (9-0)
2cos⁴x * 9 - 2sin⁴x * (-9) + (3 + sin²2x) * 9
18cos⁴x +18 sin⁴x + (3 + sin²2x) * 9
18cos⁴x + 18sin⁴x + 27 + 9sin²2x
 
We are to find:
(1/5)·f'(0)
Step 1: Differentiate f(x)
We differentiate each term with respect to x:
Term 1: 18cos⁴x
Use the chain rule:
d/dx [cos⁴x] = 4cos³x * (−sinx) = −4cos³x sinx
So:
d/dx [18cos⁴x] = 18 × (−4cos³x sinx) = −72cos³x sinx
Term 2: 18sin⁴x
d/dx [sin⁴x] = 4sin³x * cosx
So:
d/dx [18sin⁴x] = 18 × 4sin³x cosx = 72sin³x cosx
Term 3: 27 → derivative is 0
Term 4: 9sin²(2x)
Use chain rule:
d/dx [sin²(2x)] = 2sin(2x) * cos(2x) * 2 = 4sin(2x)cos(2x)
So:
d/dx [9sin²(2x)] = 9 × 4sin(2x)cos(2x) = 36sin(2x)cos(2x)
Step 2: Combine derivatives
So,
f′(x) = −72cos³x sinx + 72sin³x cosx + 36sin(2x)cos(2x)
Step 3: Evaluate f′(0)
Plug in x = 0:
  • sin(0) = 0
  • cos(0) = 1
  • sin(2×0) = 0
  • cos(2×0) = 1
Now evaluate each term:
  1. −72cos³(0) sin(0) = −72(1)(0) = 0
  2. 72sin³(0) cos(0) = 72(0)(1) = 0
  3. 36sin(0)cos(0) = 36(0)(1) = 0
So,
f′(0) = 0
Step 4: Final Answer
(1/5) × f′(0) = (1/5) × 0 = 0
 

  • a)
    –2
  • b)
    0
  • c)
    x+2
  • d)
    none of these
