In a meter bridge,the wire of length $1\, m$ has a non-uniform cross-section such that the variation $\frac{dR}{d\ell}$ of its resistance $R$ with length $\ell$ is $\frac{dR}{d\ell} \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{\ell}}$. Two equal resistances are connected as shown in the figure. The galvanometer has zero deflection when the jockey is at point $P$. What is the length $AP$?

  • A
    $0.2$
  • B
    $0.3$
  • C
    $0.25$
  • D
    $0.35$

In the shown arrangement of the experiment of the metre bridge,if $AC$ corresponding to null deflection of the galvanometer is $x$,what would be its value if the radius of the wire $AB$ is doubled?

The resistances in the left and right gaps of a metre bridge are $40 \Omega$ and $60 \Omega$ respectively. When the bridge is balanced, the distance of the null point from the centre of the wire towards the left is (in $\text{ cm}$)

The meter bridge shown is in a balanced position with $\frac{P}{Q} = \frac{l_{1}}{l_{2}}$. If we now interchange the positions of the galvanometer and the cell,will the bridge work? If yes,what will be the balance condition?

The resistance per centimeter of a meter bridge wire is $r$. $A$ resistance of $X \ \Omega$ is placed in the left gap and a resistance of $25 \ \Omega$ is placed in the right gap. The balancing length from the left end is $40 \ cm$. Now,the wire is replaced by another wire of $2r$ resistance per centimeter. The new balancing length for the same settings will be at: (in $cm$)

In a meter bridge experiment,the balance point is obtained if the gaps are closed by $2 \Omega$ and $3 \Omega$ resistors. $A$ shunt of $X \Omega$ is added to the $3 \Omega$ resistor to shift the null point by $22.5 \text{ cm}$. The value of $X$ is: (in $\Omega$)
