Two known resistances are connected in two gaps of a meter bridge. The null point is obtained 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 $\Omega$)

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 circuit, which part is called the battery arm and which part is called the galvanometer arm?

$STATEMENT-1$: 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.

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 $l_2$?

$A$ meter bridge is set up as shown to determine the end corrections at $A$ and $B$. When a resistance of $15\,\Omega$ is used in the left gap and $20\,\Omega$ in the right gap,the null point is obtained at a distance of $42\,cm$ from $A$. When these resistances are interchanged,the null point is obtained at a distance of $57\,cm$ from $A$. The values of the end corrections are:
