To shift the balance point on higher length, the potential gradient of the wire is to be decreased. The same can be obtained by decreasing the current of the main circuit, which is possible by increasing the resistance in series of potential wire

    This question contains statement$-1$ and statement$-2$. Of the four choices given after the statements, choose the one that best describes the two statements.

    statement$-1$ : The temperature dependence of resistance is usually given as $R=R_{0}(1+\alpha \Delta t)$. The resistance of a wire changes from $100\; \Omega$ to $150\; \Omega$ when its temperature is increased from $27^{\circ} C$ to $227^{\circ} C$. This implies that $\alpha=2.5$ $\times 10^{-3} /{ }^{\circ} C$

    statement$-2\;: R=R_{0}(1+\alpha \Delta t)$ is valid only when the change in the temperature $\Delta T$ is small and $\Delta R=\left(R-R_{0}\right) < < R_{0}$
