Figure $(i)$ below shows a Wheatstone's bridge in which $P, Q, R$ and $S$ are fixed resistances, $G$ is a galvanometer and $B$ is a battery. For this particular case, the galvanometer shows zero deflection. Now, only the positions of $B$ and $G$ are interchanged, as shown in figure $(ii)$. The new deflection of the galvanometer
  • A
    is to the left
  • B
    is to the right
  • C
    is zero
  • Ddepends on the values of $P, Q, R$ and $S$

    To measure the temperature coefficient of resistivity $\alpha$ of a semiconductor, an electrical arrangement shown in the figure is prepared. The arm BC is made up of the semiconductor. The experiment is being conducted at $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and resistance of the semiconductor arm is $3 \mathrm{~m} \Omega$. Arm BC is cooled at a constant rate of $2^{\circ} \mathrm{C} / \mathrm{s}$. If the galvanometer $\mathrm{G}$ shows no deflection after $10 \mathrm{~s}$, then $\alpha$ is :

    It is preferable to measure the $e.m.f.$ of a cell by potentiometer than by a voltmeter because of the following possible reasons.
    $(i)$ In case of potentiometer, no current flows through the cell.
    $(ii)$ The length of the potentiometer allows greater precision.
    $(iii)$ Measurement by the potentiometer is quicker.
    $(iv)$ The sensitivity of the galvanometer, when using a potentiometer is not relevant.
    Which of these reasons are correct?
