43 Two cells of emf’s approximately 5 V and 10 V are to be accurately compared using a potentiometer of length 400 cm. [NCERT Exemplar]
A The battery that runs the potentiometer should have voltage of 8 V.
B The battery of potentiometer can have a voltage of 15 V and R adjusted so that the potential drop across the wire slightly exceeds 10 V.
C The first portion of 50 cm of wire itself should have a potential drop of 10 V.
D Potentiometer is usually used for comparing resistances and not voltages.

Answer: The battery of potentiometer can have a voltage of 15 V and R adjusted so that the potential drop across the wire slightly exceeds 10 V.
44 A resistance R is to be measured using a meter bridge. Student chooses the standard resistance S to be 100 Ω He finds the null point at l1 = 2.9 cm. He is told to attempt to improve the accuracy. Which of the following is a useful way? [NCERT Exemplar]
A He should measure l1 more accurately.
B He should change Sto 1000 Ω and repeat the experiment.
C He should change S to 3 Ω and repeat the experiment.
D He should give up hope of a more accurate measurement with a meter bridge.

Answer: He should change S to 3 Ω and repeat the experiment.
45 Consider a current carrying wire current I in the shape of a circle. Note that as the current progresses along the wire, the direction of j (current density) changes in an exact manner, while die current/remain unaffected. The agent that is essentially responsible for is
