The force of reaction at the kerb does not have any angular impulse about O as their line of action
passes through O. Hence we assume that angular momentum about O is conserved.

(a) Accurate measurement of an unknown resistance can be performed on a Wheatstone bridge.
On passing direct current (DC) to an ionic solution, the composition of the solution changes. This
difficulty is resolved by using an alternating current (AC) source of power. (frequency range 550 to
5000 cycles per second)
(b) The standard EMF of a concentration cell is zero but Ecell ≠ 0, so it can be used.
(c) It is a secondary battery. It can be recharged by passing current through it in the opposite
direction so that it can be used again.
(d) The overall reaction of a mercury cell is represented by
Zn(Hg)(s) + HgO(s) → ZnO(s) + Hg(l).
The cell potential is approximately 1.35 V and remains constant during its life as the overall
reaction does not involve any ion in solution whose concentration can change during its lifetime.

of the (+IV) oxidation state and an increase in the stability of the (+II) state on descending the
