When the jockey contacts a point on the meter wire to the left of $D$,current flows to $B$ from the wire.

Vedclass · Answer

(B) In a meter bridge,the balance condition is given by $\frac{R}{S} = \frac{l_1}{100 - l_1}$.At the null point $D$,the potential at $B$ is equal to the potential at $D$,so no current flows through the galvanometer.If the jockey is moved to the left of $D$,the resistance of the left segment decreases,making the potential at $D$ higher than at $B$. Thus,current flows from $D$ to $B$ (i.e.,to $B$ from the wire).If the jockey is moved to the right of $D$,the potential at $D$ becomes lower than at $B$,so current flows from $B$ to $D$ (i.e.,from $B$ to the wire).Therefore,option $B$ is correct.

In a meter bridge,the point $D$ is the neutral point (null point) as shown in the figure.

In a metre bridge experiment,the null point is obtained at $20 \,cm$ from the left end of the wire,when resistance $X$ is balanced against another resistance $Y$ $(X < Y)$. To balance a resistance $4X$ against $Y$,the new position of the null point from the same end will be: (in $\,cm$)

Two resistances are connected in two gaps of a meter bridge. The balance point is $20 \ cm$ from the zero end. $A$ resistance of $15 \ \Omega$ is connected in series with the smaller of the two. The null point shifts to $40 \ cm$. The value of the smaller resistance in $\Omega$ is

In an experiment of a meter bridge, a null point is obtained at the centre of the bridge wire. When a resistance of $10\, \Omega$ is connected in one gap, the value of resistance in the other gap is ............. $\Omega$.
