Vedclass · Answer

(D) In the balanced position of the meter bridge,the condition is given by $\frac{P}{Q} = \frac{l}{100-l}$,where $l$ is the distance of the null point from end $A$.Initially,$P = 4\,\Omega$ and $l = 60\,cm$. Therefore,$100-l = 40\,cm$.Substituting these values into the balance condition:$\frac{4}{Q} = \frac{60}{40}$$\frac{4}{Q} = \frac{3}{2}$$Q = \frac{8}{3}\,\Omega$.Now,an unknown resistance $R$ is connected in series with $P$,so the new resistance is $P' = P + R = 4 + R$. The new null point is at $l' = 80\,cm$,so $100-l' = 20\,cm$.Using the balance condition again:$\frac{4+R}{Q} = \frac{80}{20}$$\frac{4+R}{8/3} = 4$$4+R = 4 	imes \frac{8}{3}$$4+R = \frac{32}{3}$$R = \frac{32}{3} - 4 = \frac{32-12}{3} = \frac{20}{3}\,\Omega$.Thus,the value of the unknown resistance $R$ is $\frac{20}{3}\,\Omega$.

Resistances in the left gap and right gap of a meter bridge are $10 \Omega$ and $30 \Omega$ respectively. If the resistances in the two gaps are interchanged, the balance point will shift to the right by: (in $\text{cm}$)

When the right gap of a meter bridge consists of two equal resistors in series,the balancing point is at $50 \ cm$. When one of the resistors in the right gap is removed and is connected in parallel to the resistor in the left gap,the balancing point is at: (in $cm$)

In a meter bridge experiment, two resistances $X$ and $Y$ in the two gaps give a null point dividing the wire in the ratio $2 : 3$. When each resistance is increased by $30 \text{ } \Omega$, the null point divides the wire in the ratio $5 : 6$. The resistances $X$ and $Y$ are respectively:
