In a meter bridge experiment,the null point is obtained at $20 \ cm$ from one end of the wire when resistance $X$ is balanced against resistance $Y$. If $X < Y$,then the distance of the new null point from the same end when a resistance of $4X$ is balanced against $Y$ will be ............ $cm$.

$n$ identical resistors are taken,in which $\frac{n}{2}$ resistors are joined in series in the left gap and the remaining $\frac{n}{2}$ resistors are joined in parallel in the right gap of a metre bridge. The balancing length in $cm$ is

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?

In a meter bridge experiment,the balance point is obtained if the gaps are closed by $2\,\Omega$ and $3\,\Omega$ resistors. $A$ shunt of $x\,\Omega$ is added to the $3\,\Omega$ resistor to shift the balancing point by $22.5\,cm$. The value of $x$ is $................$

In a metre bridge experiment, the resistance in the left gap is $20 \text{ } \Omega$ and in the right gap is $60 \text{ } \Omega$. The bridge is balanced. The distance of the null point from the centre of the wire is (in $\text{ cm}$)
