An electron moves on a straight line path XY as shown. The abcd is a coil adjacent in the path of the electron. What will be the direction of the current, if any induced in the coil?

• abcd

• adcb

• the current will reverse its direction as the electron goes past the coil

• the current will reverse its direction as the electron goes past the coil

A galvanometer of resistance, G is shunted by a resistance S ohm. To keep the main current in the circuit unchanged,the resistance to be put in series with the galvanometer is

A thermocouple force towards the conductor produces an emf of 40 μ V/^oC in the linear range of temperature. A galvanometer of resistance 10 Ω whose sensitivity is 1μA/div, is employed with the thermocouple. The smallest value of temperature difference that can be detected by the system will be.

A potentiometer circuit is set up as shown. The potential gradient across the potentiometer wire is k volt /cm and the ammeter, present in the circuit, reads 1.0 A when the two-way key is switched off. The balance points, when the key between the terminals (i) 1 and 2 (ii) 1 and 3, is plugged in, are found to be at lengths  l₁ and l₂ cm respectively.
