Two resistances are connected in two gaps of a meter bridge. The balance point is $20 \ cm$ 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 value of the smaller resistance in $\Omega$ is

  • A
    $3$
  • B
    $6$
  • C
    $9$
  • D
    $12$

$A$ meter bridge with two resistances $R_{1}$ and $R_{2}$ as shown in the figure was balanced (null point) at $40 \text{ cm}$ from the point $P$. The null point changed to $50 \text{ cm}$ from the point $P$, when a $16 \ \Omega$ resistance is connected in parallel to $R_{2}$. The values of resistances $R_{1}$ and $R_{2}$ are . . . . . . .

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 . . . . $\Omega$.

$A$ resistance wire connected in the left gap of a meter bridge balances a $10\, \Omega$ resistance in the right gap at a point which divides the bridge wire in the ratio $3: 2$. If the length of the resistance wire is $1.5\, m$,then the length of $1\, \Omega$ of the resistance wire is $....... \times 10^{-2}\, m$.

In a meter bridge,the gaps are enclosed by resistances of $2 \ \Omega$ and $3 \ \Omega$. The value of shunt to be added to the $3 \ \Omega$ resistor to shift the balancing point by $22.5 \ cm$ is (in $\Omega$)

$STATEMENT-1$: 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.
