In a meter bridge experiment to determine the value of an unknown resistance, first the resistances $2 \Omega$ and $3 \Omega$ are connected in the left and right gaps of the bridge and the null point is obtained at a distance $l \ cm$ from the left. Now when an unknown resistance $x \ \Omega$ is connected in parallel to $3 \ \Omega$ resistance, the null point is shifted by $10 \ cm$ to the right of the wire. The value of unknown resistance $x$ is . . . . . . $\Omega$.

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 $\Omega$)?

$A$ 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:

In the meter bridge experiment,the length $AB$ of the wire is $1 \ m$. The resistors $X$ and $Y$ have values $5 \ \Omega$ and $2 \ \Omega$ respectively. When a shunt resistance $S$ is connected in parallel to $X$,the balancing point is found to be $0.625 \ m$ from $A$. Then,the resistance of the shunt $S$ is (in $\Omega$)

In an experiment to determine the temperature coefficient of resistance of a conductor,a coil of wire $X$ is immersed in a liquid. It is heated by an external agent. $A$ meter bridge setup is used to determine the resistance of the coil $X$ at different temperatures. The balancing points measured at temperatures $t_1=0^{\circ} C$ and $t_2=100^{\circ} C$ are $50 \ cm$ and $60 \ cm$ respectively. If the standard resistance taken out is $S=4 \ \Omega$ in both trials,the temperature coefficient of the coil is
