$A$ resistance of $2\,\Omega$ is connected across one gap of a meter-bridge and an unknown resistance,greater than $2\,\Omega$,is connected across the other gap. When these resistances are interchanged,the balance point shifts by $20\,cm$. Neglecting any end correction,the unknown resistance is ................ $\Omega$.

In a meter bridge experiment, the balance point from the left is $37.5 \ cm$. The ratio of the right gap resistance to the left gap resistance is

In the given figure of a meter bridge experiment,the balancing length $AC$ corresponding to null deflection of the galvanometer is $40 \, cm$. What will be the balancing length if the radius of the wire $AB$ is doubled (in $, cm$)?

In order to measure the internal resistance $r_1$ of a cell of emf $E$,a meter bridge of wire resistance $R_0=50 \Omega$,a resistance $R_0/2$,another cell of emf $E/2$ (internal resistance $r$) and a galvanometer $G$ are used in a circuit,as shown in the figure. If the null point is found at $l=72 \text{ cm}$,then the value of $r_1$ is . . . . $\Omega$.

On interchanging the resistances,the balance point of a meter bridge shifts to the left by $10 \, cm$. The resistance of their series combination is $1 \, k\Omega$. How much was the resistance on the left slot before interchanging the resistances? ................... $\Omega$

$STATEMENT-1$: In a Meter Bridge experiment,a null point for an unknown resistance is measured. Now,the unknown resistance is placed inside an enclosure maintained at a higher temperature. The null point can be obtained at the same point as before by decreasing the value of the standard resistance.
$STATEMENT-2$: The resistance of a metal increases with an increase in temperature.
