In a meter bridge,a $30 \Omega$ resistance is connected in the left gap and a pair of resistances $P$ and $Q$ in the right gap. Measured from the left,the balance point is $37.5 \text{ cm}$ when $P$ and $Q$ are in series,and $71.4 \text{ cm}$ when they are in parallel. The values of $P$ and $Q$ (in $\Omega$) are:

  • A
    $40$,$10$
  • B
    $35$,$15$
  • C
    $30$,$20$
  • D
    $25$,$25$

When the two known resistances $R$ and $S$ are connected in the left and right gaps of a meter bridge respectively,the null point is found at a distance $l_1$ from the zero end of the meter bridge wire. An unknown resistance $X$ is now connected in parallel with $S$,and the null point is found at a distance $l_2$ from the zero end of the meter bridge wire. The unknown resistance $X$ is:

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 $\Omega$)?

In a meter bridge,the two gaps contain resistances of $10 \, \Omega$ and $30 \, \Omega$ respectively. If these resistances are interchanged,the null point shifts by ..... cm.

The resistances in the left and right gaps of a metre bridge are $40 \Omega$ and $60 \Omega$ respectively. When the bridge is balanced, the distance of the null point from the centre of the wire towards the left is (in $\text{ cm}$)

Two known resistances are connected in two gaps of a meter bridge. The null point is obtained at $20 \ cm$ from the zero end. $A$ resistance of $15 \ \Omega$ is connected in series with the smaller of the two. The null point shifts to $40 \ cm$. The smaller resistance is (in $\Omega$)
