Physics PYQ 108 of 144 · Electricity

Which of the following is not correctly matched?

  1. AVoltmeter - Potential difference
  2. BAmmeter - Electric current
  3. CPotentiometer - Electromotive force
  4. DGalvanometer - Electric resistance
  5. ENone of the above/More than one of the above

67th BPSC

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (d) Galvanometer - Electric resistance

Explanation

A galvanometer detects and measures small electric current, not resistance.

The correct pairs are Voltmeter–potential difference, Ammeter–electric current and Potentiometer–EMF.

So 'Galvanometer–electric resistance' is the wrongly matched pair.
