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 the meter bridge experiment, the length $AB$ of the wire is $1 \, m$. The resistors $X$ and $Y$ have values $5 \, \Omega$ and $2 \, \Omega$ respectively. When a shunt resistance $S$ is connected in parallel to $X$, the balancing point is found to be $0.625 \, m$ from $A$. Then, the resistance of the shunt $S$ is

In a meter bridge experiment,when resistance $X$ is in the left gap and $Y$ is in the right gap,the null point is found at $20 \ cm$ from the left end. If $X < Y$,what will be the new position of the null point from the same end if a resistance of $4X$ is placed in the left gap instead of $X$?

In a meter-bridge experiment,a resistance of $18 \Omega$ is connected in the left gap and an unknown resistance $R$ is connected in the right gap.
