Answers & Solutions

Q.1 Answer:
Multimeter shows a deflection, accompanied by a splash of light out of connected component in one direction and
NO deflection on reversing the probes if the chosen component is LED
Solution:

The multimeter does not deflect before and after reversing the probes in the case of a capacitor.
-In the case of a resistor, the multimeter shows an equal deflection before and after reversing the probes in
both cases.
- When inverting the probes on a metal wire, the multimeter does not show any deflection before and after.
- When the probes are reversed, the multimeter indicates deflection in one direction, accompanied by a
splash of light from the connected component, but no deflection when the probes are reversed in the case
of an LED.

Q.7 Answer:
V2 > V1 > V3
​ ​ ​

Solution:

In series P.D. ∝ R
When only S1 is closed, V1 = 34 E = 0.75E ​ ​ ​

When only S2 is closed, V2 = 67 E = 0.86E ​ ​ ​

And when S1 and S2 are closed, combined resistance of 6R and 3R is 2R.

∴ V3 = 23 E = 0.67E ∴ V2 > V1 > V3

Q.9 Answer:
with an accuracy of 0.2mV
@IITJEE_Advanced
Solution:

V = IR = 2 V

maximum voltage can read = 2V

V 2
λ= = = 0.2mV/mm
ℓ 10 × 103
​ ​

Least account of scale = 1 mm, accuracy = 0.2mV

Q.10 Answer:
Errors of measurement do depend on the accuracy with which R2 and R1 can be measured ​ ​

Solution:

= 10Ω, R1 = 5Ω, R3 = 5Ω For second student, R1 = 500Ω, R3 = 5Ω

Given, for first student, R2 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Now, according to Wheatstone bridge rule, R

2
=R
R1
3
⇒ R4 = R3 × R
​

​
​
R2
1
​

​
​ ​ ​
​

​
​

Now, putting all the values in Eq. (i), we get R = 10Ω for both students. Thus, we can analyse that the
Wheatstone bridge is most sensitive and accurate if resistances are of same value.
Thus, the errors of measurement of the two students depend on the accuracy and sensitivity of the bridge.
which in turn depends on the accuracy with which R2 and R1 can be measured. ​ ​

When R2 and R1 are larger, the currents through the When of bridge is very weak. This can make the
​ ​

determination of null point accurately more difficult.
