checked.
(ii) Current in potentiometer wire is increased.
Under what conditions galvanometer will give no
deflection when jockey is put on the wire ?
Ans. The reason may be (i) the cell whose e.m.f. is
being measured, is totally damaged to have infinite
internal resistance.
(ii) connecting wire in the
galvanometer circuit may be broken.
Under what conditions deflection in the
galvanometer is shaky ?
Ans. The reason may be
(i) the e.m.f. of the battery or the cells may be
fluctuating.
(ii) the circuit has a loose contact somewhere.
Why should we use a sensitive galvanometer ?
Ans. A sensitive galvanometer will respond to even a
small departure from the exact balance point and will
hence enable us to locate the balance point with
greater precision.
Why do we need a protective series resistance/shunt
along with a sensitive galvanometer ?
Ans. To prevent it from damage from the flow of
excessive currents that may exist when the jockey is
far from the balance point.
Does the use of a series protective resistance/shunt
effect the location of the balance Point ?
Ans. No, however, it makes the galvanometer less
sensitive. We therefore, remove it once we are near
the balance point.
Why do we not want the balance point to be on the
first wire, say ?
Ans. The smaller is the balancing length the greater
is the relative uncertainty in its location.
What is the merit of a potentiometer over a voltmeter
in measurement of e.m.f. of a cell ?
Ans. E.M.F. measured by potentiometer is more
accurate because the cell is in open circuit, giving no
current.
How will you determine specific resistance of
potentiometer wire material?
Ans. We measure V across a known length l of
the wire. We measure diameter D of wire and current
I through it. Then R =
l
D2 /4
= V/I. From

160. What are stationary waves ?
Ans. When two identical waves of same frequency,
amplitude travelling in a medium with same speed
but in opposite directions superimpose, they produce
stationary waves.
161. What are nodes and antinodes ?
Ans. Nodes are the points of zero amplitude and
antinodes are points of maximum amplitude.
162. Define wavelength for a stationary wave.
Ans. The distance between the centres of two
successive crests or troughs is called the wavelength
of a stationary wave.
163. How does the wire begin to vibrate in this case ?
Ans. When a current carrying wire is placed in
magnetic field then magnetic force act on the wire
which tends to move it in a direction which is
perpendicular to current and field. The current is a.c.,
the force which act on the wire is also oscillating and
hence the wire vibrate.
164. When will the wire resonate ?
Ans. When the frequency of a.c., mains is equal to
the natural frequency of the vibration of the wire.
165. Why does the string of the sonometer vibrate ?
Ans. When the vibrating tuning fork is kept on the
board of the sonometer, the forced vibrations of the

143. What is the order of magnitude of emitter current
and base current ?
Ans. Emitter current has magnitude upto 50 mA.
Base current has magnitude upto 100 A.
144. Why a common emitter circuit is preferred over a
common base current in amplifiers ?
Ans. It is due to large current gain from common
emitter circuit.
145. What is resistance gain of a transistor ?
Ans. The ratio of load resistance (RL) used in output
circuit to the input resistance (Ri) of input junction,
is called resistance gain of a transistor. Since load
resistance used has value equal to output resistance
(R,) of output junction, the resistance gain is
measured as Ro/Ri.
146. What is input characteristic of a common emitter
transistor ?
Ans. A graph between base voltage (Vb) and base
current (Ib) for fixed value of collector voltage (Vc),
is called the input characteristic of the common
emitter transistor.
147. What is the importance of the input
characteristic ? Ans. It helps in calculating input
resistance of the transistor. By definition , Ri =
