Current Electricity (Physics) DPP-09

1. Potential gradient is established across potentiometer 5. If only 1% of the main current is to be passed through
wire by standard cell, for comparing emfs of two cells a galvanometer of resistance G, then the resistance of
[E1 and E2]. Balancing length is l1 when two cells E1 shunt will be
& E2 help each other, and it is l2 when they oppose G
E1 (1) G (2) 100
each other, then E2 is given by. 99 G
l1 l2 (3) 100 G (4) 99
(1) l2 (2) l1
6. A galvanometer coil has a resistance of 15 Ω and it
l1 − l2 l1 +l2
shows full deflection when 4 mA current flows
(3) l1 +l2 (4) l1 − l2 through. The value of shunt resistance needed to
convert it into an ammeter which can read any current
between 0 to 6 A, is nearly equal to
2. In the circuit shown in figure, the reading of (1) 1 Ω (2) 0.1 Ω
voltmeter of resistance 1200 Ω will be
(3) 0.01 Ω (4) 0.001 Ω

7. In the metre bridge, the balancing length AB = l = 20

cm. The unknown resistance X is equal to

(1) 200 V (2) 100 V

(3) 50 V (4) 75 V

3. Which of the following statement is wrong? (1) 0.25 Ω (2) 0.8 Ω

(1) Voltmeter should have high resistance
(2) Ammeter should have low resistance
(3) Ammeter is placed parallel across the resistance
in a circuit
(4) Voltmeter is placed in parallel across the
resistance in a circuit
(3) 0.2 Ω (4) 0.16 Ω
8. In the meter bridge shown, the resistance X has a
negative temperature coefficient of resistance.
Neglecting the variation in other resistors, when
current is passed for some time, in the circuit balance
point should shift towards

4. A voltmeter of resistance 2000 Ω can measure a

maximum potential difference of 2 V. If it is to be
converted into a voltmeter of range 20 V, the required
resistance in series will be
(1) 2000 Ω (2) 1800 Ω
(3) 18000 Ω (4) 8000 Ω (1) A (2) B
(3) First A then B (4) It will remain at C

9. The potentiometer wire PQ is 100 cm long and its
resistance is 2r, where r is internal resistance of the
battery. The balancing length PC is equal to
10. Potentiometer is most sensitive than voltmeter,
because
(1) Voltmeter has very high resistance
(2) Least count of potentiometer is small as
compared to voltmeter
(3) Potentiometer does not draw any current
from a source of unknown potential difference
(4) Potentiometer does not have any coil

(1) 25 cm (2) 75 cm
(3) 50 cm (4) 40 cm
