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 $R_2$. $(AB = 1\,m)$

  • A
    $\frac{10}{3}\, \Omega, 5\, \Omega$
  • B
    $20\, \Omega, 30\, \Omega$
  • C
    $10\, \Omega, 15\, \Omega$
  • D
    $5\, \Omega, \frac{15}{2}\, \Omega$

The unknown resistances are connected in two gaps of a metre bridge. The null point is at $20 \ cm$ from the zero end. $A$ resistance of $15 \ \Omega$ is connected in series with the smaller of the two. The null point shifts to $40 \ cm$. The smaller resistance is (in $\Omega$)

$n$ identical resistors are taken,in which $\frac{n}{2}$ resistors are joined in series in the left gap and the remaining $\frac{n}{2}$ resistors are joined in parallel in the right gap of a metre bridge. The balancing length in $cm$ is

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 a meter bridge experiment, two resistances $X$ and $Y$ in the two gaps give a null point dividing the wire in the ratio $2 : 3$. When each resistance is increased by $30 \text{ } \Omega$, the null point divides the wire in the ratio $5 : 6$. The resistances $X$ and $Y$ are respectively:

To find the value of an unknown resistance by using a meter bridge,why are the positions of $R$ and $S$ interchanged?
