In a meter bridge,the balancing length from the left end (standard resistance of $1 \, \Omega$ is in the right gap) is found to be $20 \, cm$. The value of the unknown resistance is ............... $\Omega$.

Consider a $72\, cm$ long wire $AB$ as shown in the figure. The galvanometer jockey is placed at $P$ on $AB$ at a distance $x\, cm$ from $A$. The galvanometer shows zero deflection. The value of $x$,to the nearest integer,is ..... $cm$.

In a meter bridge,the null point is found at a distance of $25\, cm$ from $A$. If now a resistance of $10\,\Omega$ is connected in parallel with $S$,the null point occurs at the midpoint of $AB$. The value of $R$ is ................. $\Omega$. (in $.67$)

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

$STATEMENT-1$: 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,the point $D$ is the neutral point (null point) as shown in the figure.
