In the meter bridge experiment,for given values of $R_1$ and $R_2$,the balance point is $20 \ cm$ from point $A$. When $R_2$ is shunted by a $20 \ \Omega$ resistance,the balancing point shifts to $50 \ cm$ from point $A$. Find the value of $R_2$ in $\Omega$.

  • A
    $20$
  • B

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 metre bridge experiment,with a standard resistance in the right gap and a resistance coil dipped in water (in a beaker) in the left gap,the balancing length obtained is $l$. If the temperature of water is increased,the new balancing length is:

In a meter bridge experiment, the balance point is obtained at length $l_1$ cm from the left end when resistances in the left gap and right gap are $15 \text{ } \Omega$ and $R \text{ } \Omega$ respectively. When the resistance $R$ is shunted with an equal resistance, the new balance point is at $1.6 l_1$. The resistance $R$ in ohm is:

In a meter-bridge,if the left and right gaps are connected with $2 \Omega$ and $3 \Omega$ resistances,respectively,then the bridge is balanced. What resistance should be connected with the $3 \Omega$ resistance to get the balancing point at the midpoint of the bridge wire?

In the meter bridge experiment,the length $AB$ of the wire is $1 \ m$. The resistors $X$ and $Y$ have values $5 \ \Omega$ and $2 \ \Omega$ respectively. When a shunt resistance $S$ is connected in parallel to $X$,the balancing point is found to be $0.625 \ m$ from $A$. Then,the resistance of the shunt $S$ is (in $\Omega$)
