In a metre bridge experiment,the null point is obtained at $20 \,cm$ from the left end of the wire,when resistance $X$ is balanced against another resistance $Y$ $(X < Y)$. To balance a resistance $4X$ against $Y$,the new position of the null point from the same end will be: (in $\,cm$)

  • A
    $40$
  • B
    $80$
  • C
    $60$
  • D
    $50$

Two wires $A$ and $B$ of equal lengths are connected in the left and right gaps of a metre bridge. The null point is obtained at $40 \ cm$ from the left end. If the diameters of the wires $A$ and $B$ are in the ratio $3:1$,what is the ratio of the specific resistance (resistivity) of $A$ to that of $B$ (in $:$)?

In a meter bridge experiment,resistances are connected as shown in the figure. The balancing length $l_1$ is $55 \, cm$. Now,an unknown resistance $x$ is connected in series with $P$ and the new balancing length is found to be $75 \, cm$. The value of $x$ is
