Consider a $72\, cm$ long wire $AB$ as shown in the figure. The galvanometer jockey is placed at $P$ on $AB$ at a distance $x\, cm$ from $A$. The galvanometer shows zero deflection. The value of $x$,to the nearest integer,is ..... $cm$.

$A$ 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 metre-bridge experiment,the balance point is obtained when the gaps are closed by $2 \Omega$ and $3 \Omega$ resistors. $A$ shunt of $x \Omega$ is added in parallel to the $3 \Omega$ resistor to shift the balance point by $22.5 \ cm$. The value of $x$ is: (in $\Omega$)

The resistance in the left and right gaps of a meter bridge are $10 \Omega$ and $30 \Omega$ respectively. If the bridge is balanced,then the distance of the null point from the center of the wire is (in $cm$)

An unknown resistance $R_1$ is connected in series with a resistance of $10 \,\Omega$. This combination is connected to one gap of a meter bridge while a resistance $R_2$ is connected in the other gap. The balance point is at $50 \, cm$. Now,when the $10 \,\Omega$ resistance is removed,the balance point shifts to $40 \, cm$. The value of $R_1$ is (in $\Omega$):
