In a meter bridge experiment to determine the value of an unknown resistance, first the resistances $2 \Omega$ and $3 \Omega$ are connected in the left and right gaps of the bridge and the null point is obtained at a distance $l \ cm$ from the left. Now when an unknown resistance $x \ \Omega$ is connected in parallel to $3 \ \Omega$ resistance, the null point is shifted by $10 \ cm$ to the right of the wire. The value of unknown resistance $x$ is . . . . . . $\Omega$.

In order to measure the internal resistance $r_1$ of a cell of emf $E$,a meter bridge of wire resistance $R_0=50 \Omega$,a resistance $R_0/2$,another cell of emf $E/2$ (internal resistance $r$) and a galvanometer $G$ are used in a circuit,as shown in the figure. If the null point is found at $l=72 \text{ cm}$,then the value of $r_1$ is . . . . $\Omega$.

To find the value of an unknown resistance by using a meter bridge,why are the positions of $R$ and $S$ interchanged?

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:

In the given arrangement of the experiment on a meter bridge,if $AD$ corresponding to the null deflection of the galvanometer is $X$,what would be its value if the radius of the wire $AB$ is doubled?

In a metre-bridge,when a resistance in the left gap is $2 \ \Omega$ and an unknown resistance is in the right gap,the balance length is found to be $40 \ cm$. On shunting the unknown resistance with $2 \ \Omega$,the balance length changes by: (in $cm$)
