Question
- Assertion (A): The given figure does not show a balanced Wheatstone bridge.
- Reason (R): For a balanced bridge small current should flow through the galvanometer.
Options

Solution
Assertion (A) is true and Reason (R) is false.
Explanation:
For a balanced Wheatstone Bridge,
`P/Q = R/S`
⇒ `2/3 = 3/2`
0.67 = 1.5
`P/Q ≠ R/S`
As a result, it isn't a balanced Wheatstone bridge. The current through a galvanometer must be zero in the case of a balanced Wheatstone bridge. As a result, the reason is incorrect and the statement is correct.

A resistance R is to be measured using a meter bridge. Student chooses the standard resistance S to be 100Ω. 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?
The measurement of an unknown resistance R is to be carried out using Wheatstones bridge (figure). Two students perform an experiment in two ways. The first students takes R2 = 10 Ω and R1 = 5 Ω. The other student takes R2 = 1000 Ω and R1 = 500 Ω. In the standard arm, both take R3 = 5 Ω. Both find R = `R_2/R_1 R_3` = 10 Ω within errors.
- The errors of measurement of the two students are the same.
- Errors of measurement do depend on the accuracy with which R2 and R1 can be measured.
- If the student uses large values of R2 and R1, the currents through the arms will be feeble. This will make determination of null point accurately more difficult.
- Wheatstone bridge is a very accurate instrument and has no errors of measurement.
