Statement \(1 \mathrm{In}\) a Meter Bridge experiment, null point for an unknown resistance is measured. Now, the unknown resistance is put inside an enclosure maintained at a higher temperature. The null point can be obtained at the same point as before by decreasing the value of the standard resistance.
and Statement 2 Resistance of a metal increase with increase in temperature.

  1. A Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is a correct explanation for Statement 1.
  2. B Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is not a correct explanation for Statement 1.
  3. C Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false.
  4. D Statement 1 is false, Statement 2 is true
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Statement 1 is false, Statement 2 is true

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

With increase in temperature, the value of unknown resistance will increase.
In balanced Wheatstone bridge condition, \(\frac{R}{X}=\frac{l_1}{l_2}\)
Here, \(R=\) value of standard resistance,
\(X=\) value of unknown resistance .
To take null point at same point or \(\frac{l_1}{l_2}\) to remain unchanged, \(\frac{R}{X}\) should also remain unchanged. Therefore, if \(X\) is increasing \(R\) should also increase.
\(\therefore\) correct option is (d).
