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 $l_2$?

  • A
    $19.15 \, \Omega$ and $39.5 \, cm$
  • B
    $8.16 \, \Omega$ and $60.5 \, cm$
  • C
    $19.15 \, \Omega$ and $60.5 \, cm$
  • D
    $8.16 \, \Omega$ and $39.5 \, cm$

In a meter bridge experiment, the balance point is obtained at length $l_1$ cm from the left end when resistances in the left gap and right gap are $15 \text{ } \Omega$ and $R \text{ } \Omega$ respectively. When the resistance $R$ is shunted with an equal resistance, the new balance point is at $1.6 l_1$. The resistance $R$ in ohm 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 $cm$)

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

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 ..... $cm$.

When two resistances $R_1$ and $R_2$ are connected in series and introduced into the left gap of a meter bridge and a resistance of $10 \ \Omega$ is introduced into the right gap,a null point is found at $60 \ cm$ from the left side. When $R_1$ and $R_2$ are connected in parallel and introduced into the left gap,a resistance of $3 \ \Omega$ is introduced into the right gap to get a null point at $40 \ cm$ from the left end. The product $R_1 R_2$ is $............. \ \Omega$.
