Two known resistances are connected in two gaps of a meter bridge. The null point is obtained at $20 \ cm$ from the zero end. $A$ resistance of $15 \ \Omega$ is connected in series with the smaller of the two. The null point shifts to $40 \ cm$. The smaller resistance is (in $\Omega$)

  • A
    $9$
  • B
    $7$
  • C
    $3$

In a metre bridge experiment,the ratio of the left gap resistance to the right gap resistance is $2:3$. The balance point from the left is: (in $cm$)

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,as shown in the figure,it is given that resistance $Y = 12.5 \, \Omega$ and the balance point is obtained at a distance $l_1 = 39.5 \, cm$ from end $A$ (by jockey $J$). After interchanging the resistances $X$ and $Y$,a new balance point is found at a distance $l_2$ from end $A$. What are the values of $X$ and $l_2$?

When a wire is connected in the left gap of a metre bridge,the balancing point is at $40 \ cm$ from the left end of the bridge wire. If the wire in the left gap is stretched so that its length is doubled and again connected in the same gap,then the balancing point from the left end of the bridge wire is

In the shown arrangement of the experiment of the metre bridge,if $AC$ corresponding to null deflection of the galvanometer is $x$,what would be its value if the radius of the wire $AB$ is doubled?
