In a Wheatstone bridge (see figure) Resistance \(P\) and \(Q\) are approximately equal. When \(R = 400\,\Omega ,\) the bridge is balanced. On interchanging \(P\) and \(Q,\) the value of \(R,\) for balance is \(405\,\Omega .\) The value of \(X\) is close to ................. \(ohm\)

Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(402.5\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\frac{P}{Q}=\frac{400}{s}\) .....\((1)\)
and \(\quad \frac{Q}{P}=\frac{405}{5}\) .......\((2)\)
Solving \(S^{2}=400 \times 405\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad S=402.5\, \Omega\)

- Consider a moving coil galvanomenter (MCG):
A. The torsional constant in moving coil galvanometer has dimentions \(\left[\mathrm{ML}^2 \mathrm{~T}^{-2}\right]\)
B. Increasing the current sensitivity may not necessarily increase the voltage sensitivity.
C. If we increase number of turns \((\mathrm{N})\) to its double \((2 \mathrm{~N})\), then the voltage sensitivity doubles.
D. MCG can be converted into an ammeter by introducing a shunt resistance of large value in parallel with galvanometer.
E. Current sensitivity of MCG depends inversely on number of turns of coil.
