Two full turns of the circular scale of a screw gauge cover a distance of 1 mm on its main scale. The total number of divisions on the circular scale is 50. Further, it is found that the screw gauge has a zero error of − 0.03 mm while measuring the diameter of a thin wire, a student notes the main scale reading of 3 mm and the number of circular scale divisions in line with the main scale as 35. The diameter of the wire is
A
3.32 mm
B
3.73 mm
C
3.67 mm
D
3.38 mm

Explanation

Least count of screw gauge = ${{0.5} \over {50}}mm$ = 0.01mm

Main scale reading = 3 mm

$\therefore$ Reading = [Main scale reading + circular scale reading $\times$ L.C] - (zero error)

= [3 + 35 $\times$ 0.01] - (-0.03) = 3.38 mm

AIEEE 2005

In a potentiometer experiment the balancing with a cell is at length $240$ $cm.$ On shunting the cell with a resistance of $2\Omega ,$ the balancing length becomes $120$ $cm$. The internal resistance of the cell is
A
$0.5\Omega$
B
$1\Omega$
C
$2\Omega$
D
$4\Omega$

Explanation

The internal resistance of the cell,

$r = \left( {{{{\ell _1} - {\ell _2}} \over {{\ell _2}}}} \right) \times R$

$= {{240 - 120} \over {120}} \times 2 = 2\Omega$
