During an experiment with a metre bridge, the galvanometer shows a null point when the jockey is pressed at 40.0 cm using a standard resistance of 90 Ω ,as shown in the figure. The least count of the scale used in the metre bridge is 1mm. The unknown resistance is

  1. A 60±0.15 Ω
  2. B 135±0.56 Ω
  3. C 60±0.25 Ω
  4. D 135±0.23 Ω
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 60±0.25 Ω

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The unknown resistance is given by, R=x100-x90
Putting x=40.0 cmR=60 Ω For error analysis, R=40.0±0.1100.0-40.0±0.1×90=40.0±0.160.0±0.1×90
In multiplication and division, fractional errors get added up.
