In a meter-bridge,if the left and right gaps are connected with $2 \Omega$ and $3 \Omega$ resistances,respectively,then the bridge is balanced. What resistance should be connected with the $3 \Omega$ resistance to get the balancing point at the midpoint of the bridge wire?

  • A
    $3 \Omega$ in series
  • B
    $3 \Omega$ in parallel
  • C
    $6 \Omega$ in series
  • D
    $6 \Omega$ in parallel

The resistance of the meter bridge wire $AB$ in the given figure is $4\,\Omega$. With a cell of emf $\varepsilon_1 = 0.5\,\text{V}$ and rheostat resistance $R_{h1} = 2\,\Omega$,the null point is obtained at point $J$. When the cell is replaced by another one of emf $\varepsilon_2$,the same null point $J$ is found for $R_{h2} = 6\,\Omega$. The emf $\varepsilon_2$ is ................. $\text{V}$.
