Why Carey Foster Bridge Is So Sensitive?

Carey Foster bridge is a variant of the Wheatstone Bridge. It is highly sensitive as it is used to measure the smallest decimal change in the resistance. The Carey Foster bridge sensitivity is directly proportional to the length of the wire used in the bridge.

                A wire of length \(L\) is bent round into (i) a square coil having \(N\) turns and (ii) a circular coil having \(N\) turns. The coil in both cases is free to turn about a vertical axis coinciding with the plane of the coil, in a uniform, horizontal magnetic field and carry the same currents. Find the ratio of the maximum value of the torque acting on the square coil to that on the circular coil.

                      A magnet held vertically, with its north pole down, is dropped along the axis of a closed solenoid placed vertically on a table. If the observer looks down from the top,

                        • the induced current will flow in the anticlockwise direction.
                        • the induced current will flow in the clockwise direction.
                        • no induced current will flow in the solenoid.
                        • the magnet will fall with a constant velocity.
