In the experimental setup of a meter bridge shown in the figure,the null point is obtained at a distance of $40\,cm$ from $A$. If a $10\,\Omega$ resistor is connected in series with $R_1$,the null point shifts by $10\,cm$. The resistance that should be connected in parallel with $(R_1 + 10)\,\Omega$ such that the null point shifts back to its initial position is .............. $\Omega$.

In a meter bridge experiment,to minimize an error due to contact resistance,

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 null point by $22.5 \text{ cm}$. The value of $X$ is: (in $\Omega$)

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 experiment,$S$ is a standard resistance and $R$ is a resistance wire. It is found that the balancing length is $l = 25 \; cm$. If $R$ is replaced by a wire of half the length and half the diameter of $R$ but of the same material,then the new balancing length $l^{\prime}$ (in $cm$) will be:
