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 . . . . $\Omega$.

In the figure shown,for given values of $R_1$ and $R_2$,the balance point for the jockey is at $40\,cm$ from $A$. When $R_2$ is shunted by a resistance of $10\, \Omega$,the balance point shifts to $50\,cm$. Find $R_1$ and $R_2$. $(AB = 1\,m)$

In the meter bridge experiment,the length $AB$ of the wire is $1 \ m$. The resistors $X$ and $Y$ have values $5 \ \Omega$ and $2 \ \Omega$ respectively. When a shunt resistance $S$ is connected in parallel to $X$,the balancing point is found to be $0.625 \ m$ from $A$. Then,the resistance of the shunt $S$ is (in $\Omega$)
