$A$ resistance of $20 \Omega$ is connected in the left gap of a metre bridge and an unknown resistance greater than $20 \Omega$ is connected in the right gap. When these resistances are interchanged,the balance point shifts by $20 \text{ cm}$. The unknown resistance is (in $Omega$)

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

In a meter bridge experiment,the balance point is obtained if the gaps are closed by $2 \Omega$ and $3 \Omega$ resistors. $A$ shunt of $X \Omega$ is added to the $3 \Omega$ resistor to shift the null point by $22.5 \text{ cm}$. The value of $X$ is: (in $Omega$)

The resistance in the left and right gaps of a meter bridge are $10 \Omega$ and $30 \Omega$ respectively. If the bridge is balanced,then the distance of the null point from the center of the wire is (in $cm$)

$A$ meter bridge is set up as shown to determine the end corrections at $A$ and $B$. When a resistance of $15\,\Omega$ is used in the left gap and $20\,\Omega$ in the right gap,the null point is obtained at a distance of $42\,cm$ from $A$. When these resistances are interchanged,the null point is obtained at a distance of $57\,cm$ from $A$. The values of the end corrections are:
