Vedclass · Answer

(C) For a meter bridge, the balancing condition is given by $\frac{R_{1}}{R_{2}} = \frac{l}{100-l}$.Initially, the null point is at $40 	ext{ cm}$, so $l = 40 	ext{ cm}$:$\frac{R_{1}}{R_{2}} = \frac{40}{60} = \frac{2}{3} \implies R_{1} = \frac{2}{3}R_{2} \quad ... (1)$When a $16 \ \Omega$ resistance is connected in parallel to $R_{2}$, the new equivalent resistance $R_{2}'$ is $\frac{R_{2} 	imes 16}{R_{2} + 16}$.The new null point is at $50 	ext{ cm}$, so $l = 50 	ext{ cm}$:$\frac{R_{1}}{R_{2}'} = \frac{50}{50} = 1 \implies R_{1} = R_{2}' = \frac{16R_{2}}{R_{2} + 16} \quad ... (2)$Equating $(1)$ and $(2)$:$\frac{2}{3}R_{2} = \frac{16R_{2}}{R_{2} + 16}$$\frac{1}{3} = \frac{8}{R_{2} + 16} \implies R_{2} + 16 = 24 \implies R_{2} = 8 \ \Omega$.Substituting $R_{2} = 8 \ \Omega$ into equation $(1)$:$R_{1} = \frac{2}{3} 	imes 8 = \frac{16}{3} \ \Omega$.

In a meter bridge experiment,the null point is obtained at $20 \ cm$ from one end of the wire when resistance $X$ is balanced against resistance $Y$. If $X < Y$,then the distance of the new null point from the same end when a resistance of $4X$ is balanced against $Y$ will be ............ $cm$.

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 $.67$)

In a meter bridge,two gaps in the metallic strip are connected by $3 \Omega$ and $9 \Omega$ resistors. What should be the value of the shunt that needs to be added in parallel to the $9 \Omega$ resistor to shift the balancing point by $25 \text{ cm}$ (in $\Omega$)?
