The figure shows a rough sketch of a meter bridge. The galvanometer $(G)$ shows zero deflection at a length $l \, cm$. Now,$R_1$ and $R_2$ are interchanged,and the balancing length increases by $25 \, cm$. Find the ratio $R_1/R_2$.

  • A
    $\frac{3}{5}$
  • B
    $\frac{2}{5}$
  • C
    $\frac{2}{3}$
  • D
    $\frac{5}{2}$

In a meter bridge experiment,a null point is obtained at $40 \ cm$ from one end of the wire when resistance $X$ is balanced against another resistance $Y$. If $X < Y$,then the new position of the null point from the same end,if one decides to balance a resistance of $3X$ against $Y$,will be close to .............. $cm$.

In the meter bridge shown,the length $AB$ for which the deflection in the galvanometer is zero will be ............. $cm$.

In a meter bridge,two gaps in the metallic strip are connected by $3 \Omega$ and $9 \Omega$ resistors. What should be the value of the shunt that needs to be added in parallel to the $9 \Omega$ resistor to shift the balancing point by $25 \text{ cm}$ (in $\Omega$)?

$A$ resistance of $20 \Omega$ is connected in the left gap of a metre bridge and an unknown resistance greater than $20 \Omega$ is connected in the right gap. When these resistances are interchanged,the balance point shifts by $20 \text{ cm}$. The unknown resistance is (in $\Omega$)

The meter bridge shown is in a balanced position with $\frac{P}{Q} = \frac{l_{1}}{l_{2}}$. If we now interchange the positions of the galvanometer and the cell,will the bridge work? If yes,what will be the balance condition?
