In metre bridge experiment, with a standard resistance in the right gap and a resistance coil
dipped in water (in a beaker) in the left gap, the balancing length obtained is '1'. If the
temperature of water is increased, the new balancing length is

  1. A \(>l \)
  2. B \( < l \)
  3. C \( =l \)
  4. D \( =0 \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(>l \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, balancing length of bridge with standard resistance in right gap and a resistance coil dipped in water in left gap is
\( I=1 \). If temperature of water is increased the new balancing length is greater than \( 1 \).
Unknown resistance is calculated as \( X=R \frac{l}{(1-l)} \)
If temperature increases then resistance increases. Thus, option (1) is correct.
