Assertion $(A):$ In a meter bridge experiment,the unknown resistance is placed inside an enclosure maintained at a higher temperature. The null point can be obtained at the same position as before by decreasing the value of the standard resistance.
Reason $(R):$ The resistance of a metal increases with an increase in temperature.

  • A
    If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
  • B
    If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
  • C
    If Assertion is true but Reason is false.
  • D
    If both Assertion and Reason are false.

The resistances in the left and right gaps of a balanced metre bridge are $12 \Omega$ and $36 \Omega$ respectively. If the resistances are interchanged,the balance point shifts by:

$A$ meter bridge is set up as shown,to determine an unknown resistance '$X$' using a standard $10 \ \Omega$ resistor. The galvanometer shows a null point when the tapping key is at the $52 \ cm$ mark. The end corrections are $1 \ cm$ and $2 \ cm$ respectively for the ends $A$ and $B$. The determined value of '$X$' is (in $Omega$)

The unknown resistances are connected in two gaps of a metre bridge. The null point is at $20 \ cm$ 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 smaller resistance is (in $Omega$)

In a meter bridge experiment,when resistance $X$ is in the left gap and $Y$ is in the right gap,the null point is found at $20 \ cm$ from the left end. If $X < Y$,what will be the new position of the null point from the same end if a resistance of $4X$ is placed in the left gap instead of $X$?

$n$ identical resistors are taken,in which $\frac{n}{2}$ resistors are joined in series in the left gap and the remaining $\frac{n}{2}$ resistors are joined in parallel in the right gap of a metre bridge. The balancing length in $cm$ is
