Two wires $A$ and $B$ of equal lengths are connected in the left and right gaps of a metre bridge. The null point is obtained at $40 \ cm$ from the left end. If the diameters of the wires $A$ and $B$ are in the ratio $3:1$,what is the ratio of the specific resistance (resistivity) of $A$ to that of $B$ (in $:$)?

  • A
    $8$
  • B
    $6$
  • C
    $4$
  • D

In the meter bridge shown,the resistance $X$ has a negative temperature coefficient of resistance. Neglecting the variation in other resistors,when current is passed for some time in the circuit,the balance point should shift towards:

In an experiment to determine the temperature coefficient of resistance of a conductor,a coil of wire $X$ is immersed in a liquid. It is heated by an external agent. $A$ meter bridge setup is used to determine the resistance of the coil $X$ at different temperatures. The balancing points measured at temperatures $t_1=0^{\circ} C$ and $t_2=100^{\circ} C$ are $50 \ cm$ and $60 \ cm$ respectively. If the standard resistance taken out is $S=4 \ \Omega$ in both trials,the temperature coefficient of the coil is

In a meter bridge experiment,when a nichrome wire is in the right gap,the balancing length is $60 \ cm$. When the nichrome wire is uniformly stretched to increase its length by $20 \%$,and again connected in the right gap,the new balancing length is nearly: (in $cm$)

$A$ resistance of $2 \Omega$ is connected across one gap of a metre-bridge (the length of the wire is $100 \text{ cm}$) and an unknown resistance,greater than $2 \Omega$,is connected across the other gap. When these resistances are interchanged,the balance point shifts by $20 \text{ cm}$. Neglecting any corrections,the unknown resistance is (in $\Omega$)

In a meter-bridge experiment,a resistance of $18 \Omega$ is connected in the left gap and an unknown resistance $R$ is connected in the right gap. The null point is obtained at $\ell_{1}$ from the left end. If the unknown resistance is replaced by $(\frac{R}{3}) \Omega$,the null point is obtained at $1.5 \ell_{1}$. The unknown resistance $R$ is: (in $\Omega$)
